Mmmm-inducing Banyuls from @GBWinesUSA. my winter go-to for chocolate desserts. Fortified, yes, but more wine-y than Port.

Excellent with the HCL 2016-17 chocolate cake. Very good banyuls. Must drink more.

Cherry. Port style with less alcohol. Great with chocolate. Perfect balance of sweetness and tannin.

Smoky purple fruits and raisin on the nose. Notes of plum, prunes, raisin, and butterscotch on the finish. Medium-minus acidity. Medium-plus alcohol. Sweet and syrupy. Very tasty.
