| | Tasted by esb on 1/14/2010: Pretty ripe plum and background cherry liqueur. I like the fruit expression; it's clean, quality and interesting enough. Medium body with great balance - no heat, low/medium sweetness and elegance. Overall a good drinker. (6588 views) |

| | Tasted by aagrawal on 10/9/2009 & rated 89 points: Dessert Wine Tasting (San Francisco, CA): My first late bottled vintage port. Tannins were noticeable but not overwhelming. Others in my group were turned off by the style, but that doesn't reflect on the wine itself. I thought this had a much more complex nose and palate than the Dow's Tawny at our tasting, and I liked but didn't love it. I think port may be an acquired taste. (2815 views) |

| | Tasted by chateaumiller on 12/22/2008 & rated 80 points: GOOD...
But not great. It's got too much of an alchohol palate and has similiarities to Vodka. Some port flavors wth a little hazel nut but nor very viscous and a short finish. A simple sipper.
