February 5, 2020 - Bottled 2016. I thought it was fine for an inexpensive port. Got better for a couple of days after opening, but then plateaued.
May 26, 2015 - Openep up nicely after a week or so, will buy more.
December 5, 2013 - Passable but far from exciting. Sandalwood, molasses, golden raisins. Fairly coarse and short finish. No flaws and does the job, but for a couple bucks more I would venture that one could find something more exciting. Bottled in 2013; imported by international wine imports; bar stopper cork; 20% ABV.
October 21, 2012 - Good but not great. Tastes like a very fresh golden raisin with a tiny coat of butterscotch. Doesn't pack a punch nor does it coat the mouth with anything exciting, but it did not disappoint.
April 21, 2012 - Disgusting! Guess I don't like ports! Tried to like it but couldn't get over the molasses taste!
July 23, 2011 - This is a bottle that rewards patience. Not too excited about it out of the gate, but after acweek of being open, this tawny developed a depth and complexity that I truly enjoyed. Only after almost three weeks of being open did it decline just a bit. The sweet spot was in the one week to two week period. Patience.
June 6, 2011 - Light colored, overly sweet and without the boldness I expect in a port.
February 4, 2011 - Fair. Disappointing, even for an inexpensive port. <Wow/Very Good/Good/Fair/Plonk>
November 16, 2010 - Yark. Not great, not particularly drinkable. Twice the price of trashy Australian fortified wines and way less than half the fun. Avoid.
July 23, 2010 - Not great but drinkable. It has the flavors of tawny port on the surface but has no depth. Worth the $15 price, but I won't be going back for any more.
