This had a lightness to the nose that I didn't expect. Not as much dark, cooked fruits as most Ports. Smooth and sweet up front, but finished with a good amount of spice and pepper.

Dark as motor oil, slightly muted nose with a bit of heat showing through. This thing was a tannin bomb, making it quite hard to drink. The fruit was a quite muted, again shut down? But it did have a really long finish. I think this one will need a long time to come around.

Dirty earth nose with wood, and cherry. Med to high tannin with high acidity. Chocolate, berry, anise, and minerals mingle on the palate. Very rich and tasty. 3.5/5

Surprisingly good. Dense in color and nose. Not overly complex, but enough to be interesting. Drinks well now.
