Thursday, October 18, 2018 - WSET Level 2 Class; 9/13/2018-11/4/2018 (The Texas Wine School): Very good quality Port that is clear, deep ruby in color, bordering on garnet. On the nose, it's clean with a pronounced intensity. It has aromas and flavors of raisins, prunes, dried red cherry, strawberry pie, cinnamon, coffee, smoke, charred toasty oak, tobacco, and alcohol. On the palate, it's sweet with medium acidity, medium tannins, full body, and a long finish.
Definitely one of the better Ports I've had but I haven't had many. Definitely let this one breathe for about a 1-2 hours before you partake as the alcohol is a little intense on the nose before then. But once it's opened up, it's wonderfully complex with great length and intensity. It could still use another few years but still very very good!!
