Last bottle from my 12-bottle case bought on release. Cruising on the prime drinking plateau now. Impressive considering its tiny price tag.

Plums, molasses, cocoa that was both rich and bright. A lovely Porto with a hint of tertiary flavors. An exceptional value for less than $30.

Decent once open. A few negatives: cork disintegrated, tons of sediment and alcohol slightly out of balance. More trouble than it was worth!

Very intense nose reminiscent of some heavy layer of jam on croissant. 60% milk chocolate 40% dark chocolate kinda thing. My Port obsession continues with Sandeman. Still very attached to Niepoort tho. Dirk knowz
