Another wine I was pretty damn palate fatigued by when its turn came up, so am leaving unrated. That said it was a textbook damn fine vintage port, if a trifle young...seemed to me this baby could go many more years. Lots of raisins and coffee and chocolate and absurdly appropriate with a strange and wicked good chocolate mousse.

Decanted several hours before serving. Rich red fruit, cocoa nibs, coffee, a really nice Port and an obscene value for $30 on sale. Great with a dark chocolate mousse, I so wish I'd been able to get more of this when it was available.

Wine tasting. Very exciting young Port. Moderate sweetness to start with robust black fruit. Long and elegant start-to-finish, with charming persistence and structure. Still too young right now, this should be great 2006-2030.
