This was pretty good; lifted nose of plum, boysenberry, blackberry, violets, baking spice, cinnamon and cacao powder. The wine has pleasant structure for a ruby and is a good wine for its style but hard to get excessively excited over.

Black cherries, currants, plums, subtle oak and sweetness that ends with a lip smacking drink-another-sip quality. A nice introduction to the category

Interesting, only my second Port and I so far can say I'm not into them. I'm not going to write them off just because I had 2 bad ones and they were around $10. Very syrupy, semi sweet and tasted like moist raisins. I have a friend who loves Port so I'll see what he has to say about this one

Had a bit more bite to it than the standard Ruby or Tawny versions. Also had some subtle notes of dark chocolate.
