Quite drinkable still, nice layers of fruits here. Lasted very well over 4 days but best on day 3.

Regular cork. In many ways have to agree with you regards JM. I have not seen that many VZ wines here.

Tim - I am a very big fan of Tawny Port, though I will say that despite some magnificent Tawnies, I have never had one that approached the very best aged VPs. Note that I am setting that bar with Ports such as '45 Taylor, '70 Dow and '85 Fonseca. It's a high bar.
