Drinking my first glass, out of a Lismore Port Glass, I find the deep purple color exquisite. This was complemented with some aged red grapes and nice balance.
On the second glass, my palate experienced, the viscosity as high and provides a lingering dark cherry flavor with perhaps a hint of chocolate.
I would gladly serve this to my friends. A wonderful desert wine. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mineral.

I have had two bottles of this wine. It has been sampled after one hour aging and after a week opened but corked at room temperature. For me, it is too sweet. The tannins are good and blackberry and some cherry come through. Unfortunately, it is a one dimensional wine.

Crisp with apple and nice acid taste upfront with a bit of Chardonnay smoothness following
