Dark garnet red, aromas of plum, raisin, candied fruit, hints of chocolate and espresso. On the palate, dark berry jam, espresso, spice and light acidity. Extremely long finish of blackberry and spice. Rich and complex.

Prune, figs, cough syrup, and cloves. Less balanced than its alter egos, this is pleasant but not quite rich enough in fruit to balance out the syrupy, alcoholic sweetness. I suspect this would work better paired with dessert as opposed to simply drinking as an after dinner drink by itself as I did.
Grabbed some dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and it went quite well and improved the wine as there was something to balance it out.

Blackberry cough syrup, prune, spice. Decent length and could pass as legit port but a little hot. So is young port...

Seemed a little flat to me. Enjoyable, but not the richness I expected.
Might have been consumed after too many other bottles
