I'm on the fence with this wine. Was not like most "port" style wines I'm used to. Was only a hair over 18% alcohol and didn't have many of the flavors I associate with Port wines. Not bad wine, but much better values from the actual Port region in my mind.

Russk. Been vinvaked for about 3wks in frig. Nose, Dr's office alc. Sorry. Mouth, vanilla, milk choc-covered cherry. Finishing with some wet wood. Not seemless, but enjoyable.

A hint of tobacco. A nice little port-style wine. Not as sweet as others, and that's fine with me.
