Community Tasting Note

I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 94 points
June 3, 2022 - Bernie's Birthday Bash (Jason's House): PnP from split (.375) - Still drinking quite well.....probably needs more time to fully develop secondary flavors, but extremely pleasant and hedonistic now!
Nose - Perfumed scents of lilac, cherry and chocolate, with hints of tar and anise.
Palate - Chocolate covered cherries dominate, with some spice, bramble, tobacco and licorice notes. Paired nicely with a decadent chocolate cake!
I love this port, and am thoroughly enjoy it young. The fruit overwhelms the alcohol, which makes it a very pleasant drinking experience in my book! If you enjoy hedonistic wines, feel free to pop one open (they are still very reasonably priced), or if you prefer a more complex and tertiary flavor profile, hold for another 20 years. :) 94+ yet again!4 people found this helpful 5,186 views
