Friday, October 20, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): From an "ex-château" bottle provided by Rupert Symington, this medium amber elixer is firing on all cylinders. Red cherries, stewed plums, walnuts, dark chocolate and Provençal herbs jump from the glass, followed by similar flavors on a full-bodied, silky-textured, sweet palate. There is a beautiful fruit/alcohol/sweetness balance here that is hard to resist. The solid middle palate leads to a lengthy finish that has a floral twist. This Port begs to be enjoyed at home, sitting by the holiday fireplace. Drink now-2045.
