2022 Port Harvest Tour; 9/22/2022-10/2/2022 (Porto, Portugal): Cask sample. This wine is dark purple with bright ruby edges. There is primary fruit aromas on a subtle nose, featuring fresh crushed blackberry with hints of spirit and herbs. The mouth-puckering entry unfolds with sweet fruit and pronounced tannins, leading to a mid-palate rich in primary dark fruits. It has a long finish.

Confraria Induction Trip; 6/19/2022-6/26/2022 (Porto, Portugal): Just bottled. Not in the market yet. Very dark purple in color, mostly opaque. Dark fruit with blueberry and some light herbal / mint notes. Rich, fresh dark fruits with sweetness on the intense mid-palate. This is a very approachable Vintage Port, even as a baby. There seems to be some nice structure on this elegant Vintage Port to provide complexity as it ages.
