One of the best Ports I have tasted, so glad I splurged when I bought this! Huge amount of sediment on the end.

Interesting wine glad I tried it but would not have again. Lacks robustness and was underwhelming. I dont think think this grape will ever be as favourable as the Zinfandel which is modelled after.
