More reminiscent of a LBV than a tawny, but this has typical port characteristics, with good balance and complexity. It's a bit muted on the nose and midpalate, and a bit hot on the finish -but overall it is 'solid' and an excellent value at $10.
I drank it over a week, and found it best from day 3-6. After day 7 it became disjointed, a bit extra-oxidize, muted, and overly hot.

Toffee, butterscotch, a bit of chocolate, with underlying fig and date notes. Nothing special, but great QPR at $8.

This has been open a while, being bought for cooking
All that air has softened the fiery notes, making it palatable.
