  Fun easy drinking. Not as sweet as a port and a little thin on the finish. Had a nice structure and flavor and 19% abv doesn't overpower. Very quaffable. A perfect summer aperitif or nite cap.

  I didn't know what to make of this initially when I got it so it sat on the shelf. Then on Berserker Day 13, Todd went into some detail on the origin and inspiration, super interesting. The bottle is different than his others, wax top, pops easy though and then the goodness inside is just unexpected when you think wine. Its not and it is. Its like a modern New World Tawny if there is such a category. Despite its clarity in the glass and easy swirl, it has the weight; and the complexion; and an amazing texture. The fruit is forward and has that edge where you'd think it was fortified, and its not as far as I'm aware. Viscous bright cherry and raspberry with vanilla, bay leaves(?), and an almost medicinal quality on the outskirts. Its that laser beam of potency and texture that's port-like. The finish is endless, I mean some people like to time these things;don't bother. It will stay with you. Very complex and changing as I sip away. Awesome experience and I have more coming from the latest BD. Enjoy and carve out time to really just let it breathe, evolve, and slowly enjoy it; you won't be disappointed.
