Porto Reporto

I opened a bottle of our 2009 Porto to see if it was ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, and wanted to share a quick report.
 
The wine drank fine after being opened but had a slight "off smell" in the bouquet.  After 45-60 minutes the depth of flavors opened up considerably and the nose was good.  There was a significant amount of sediment in the bottom of the bottle, enough to warrant having bottles standing upright for several days (or longer) before opening the wine.
 
Cheers!
