Lovely - rich port with a soft texture, solid fruit and a smooth finish. Consumed with family and a good time was enjoyed by all (as it should be) as this was a perfect ending to a wonderful meal with dinner wines from Tuscany.

nice dark purple color - clear. Aroma shows light cherry, with blackberry highlights. Wine is light, but full of cherry in the mouth. Medium dry with a pleasant finish that lingers (wish it lingered a bit longer). This is an easy wine to enjoy on its own.

Color is an appealing purple, slightly brown, although a tad cloudy. Aroma boasts fig, plum and cherry - quite full. The cherry predominates in the mouth with lovely earth tones, amber and mushroom. Finish is medium with a light feel, with lingering cherry. Overall, this was a "smooth" and beautiful Bordeaux, light in texture and very enjoyable though lacking the complexity of a "great" Bordeaux experience.
