Nose: strawberry jam On the pop and pour the alcohol is pretty over welming, the fruit comes out after a little while. mouthfeel: medium palate: rich red fruits upfront that rushes through,a bit of tobacco on the finish tannins: medium-low (but I am going to store a bottle for a few years just to see) unbalanced towards alcohol or acidity, I can't tell which, gives it a "fake" quality. QPR: 87, actual rating: 82

I really like this port. Full bodied, the right amount of berries coming through with some tobacco or vanilla and a noticeable lack of a syrupy component that can be found in other ports. (Tasting notes incomplete).
