Yeah, it's not a real port, but it does have Touriga Nacional in it! This was much better than the 2010. Better balance overall and kept you coming back for another sip.

This is to port what oranges are to apples. Having said that, this is still an enjoyable dessert embibe but it needs a couple of days air to smooth out completely. With some oxidation, you get the pecan praline and blood orange aspects and paired up with dark chocolate, you've got yourself a winner. The final glass, two weeks after opening, was the best. Note: it would also be nice for everyone to correct their inventory. This wine only comes in 375ml size. THERE ARE NO 750ML OR 500ML BOTTLES

I don't have a lot of experience with port, but based on limited data points, this doesn't measure up. Not a sink dumper by any means but it doesn't do much for me.

P McCullough: Rhone style port. Nice after dinner wine.
