Ripe fruit, high alcohol. I think it's pretty elegant for the price.

Not bad for the price. Lots of fruit and not hot. Great with Stilton cheese.

Too sweet for me. Full bodied, and nice raisin finish, but too much sweetness at the start.

Port. Dark fruit, chocolate. Solid for the price point, pairs nicely with chocolate and caramel.

It’s good , but not significantly better than their entry-level tawny... pronounced spices and sweet raisins , but high in sugar
