Plum, tar & leather...dark as night. Just as unique and refreshingly dry as I remembered, but without the "wow" factor from the first time. Great value - no complaints.

Smelled of tar and plums. Much more fruit than I anticipated for an aged wine at this price point. Certianly showing maturity, but could drink well for a few more years. Surprisingly, it opened up after about an hour (older wines don't tend to require airing) and gained some much needed structure as well. Very dry with clasic port flavors - a great find at this price!
