March 9, 2024 - A basket full of fruit, very good citrus, smooth, very good balance between the citrus and the sweetness from start to finish.

February 3, 2024 - Clearly a step up from the regular ruby port from Dow. Outstanding QPR. Held up well over 2 weeks at 55-60F and was drunk over that two weeks.

January 24, 2024 - Deep ruby color. Med(+) aromas of raisin, prune, black cherry, violet, a bit of white chocolate. Sweet, med, chalky tannins, high alcohol, med acidity, med finish. Balanced and well made if not complex. Not supposed to age but wouldn’t be surprised if this does.

November 21, 2023 - A real bargain. Impressive complexity at this price point. Dark berry, plum, spices, soot/smoke. Proper amount of sweetness.
