My 2000th archive on @Delectable Wine !

This port was a huge surprise, in a great way. Plush and dense blue fruit, with purple color staining the glass. Reminiscent of a WA Syrah, with sweetness.

This wine has many years of aging potential, yet drinks beautifully today. 🍷

Van Zeller is the producer of this Quinta. #delectable

I didn't think you could go wrong with vintage port, but, well, then there's this.

First time I've had port in like 6 years. This is a good, drinkable port. Not an asshole port. Thanks to Perman

17+/20 (92+/100) Вино с ароматом бузины, чернослива и черноплодной рябины. Тельное с высокой, ещё выпирающей кислотностью и шероховатыми танинами. Очень молодо. #prowein2018
