  April 9, 2022 - D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES with Adam Chase and Matt Gaughan; 4/9/2022-4/10/2022 (St Francis' Yacht Club San Francisco): A: Medium ruby [instructor-Matt Gaughn - says deep)
  N: Medium (+) intensity black cherry, plum, bay leaf, blackcurrant and some floral black pepper perhaps (from the fortification spirit)
  P: Sweet, medium (+) acidity, medium (+) plush tannin [instructor said they felt course to him], full body, high alcohol, medium (+) intensity and finish
  C: This is off balance as the alcohol was poorly integrated and persists too long. Length is good as is the intensity giving good quality. Complexity is lacking, lack of sugar to acid and better alcohol integration would not be the case in better quality examples.
  
  Not suitable for ageing

  January 23, 2021 - Drinking very well for a sub 20 dollar port. I was very please considering I thought it was past its drinking window.
