Sweet, berry fruity, with a tannic bite to keep it from cloying

Delightful out of 500ml: nose of luxurious Chambord, decadent, held the alcohol well, smooth rich finely detailed, more Ruby than Tawny, youthful & vibrant. Thoroughly enjoyed - reminiscent of some domestic Zin based โ€œportโ€

Wow did this age nicely. Lots of dark fruit on this one still. Could probably hold this out for another year or two. Yummy.

Oh how I wish I could find another bottle of this. It's been 4 years and I can't find another Port like it.

This was really good. Not quite as syrupy as some ports, but very smooth. Really like this and great after dinner.
