In comparison to the normal non-vintage Ink Grade this is much bigger and deeper. This is still a baby and easily has a couple of decades to go depending upon how you like your port. Huge fruit with some complexity - bolder than expected.

Opened the bottle two months ago. Stored preserved in the Vintage Cellars Credenza and finished at the end of a long day at work. While the strength of the Grappa had diminished slightly over that time, the wine was still extremely well-balanced!

Phenomenal Cali port. Magnificent full, bold burst up front with long fruit/sweet flavors and sensations on the palate minutes after the last sip. Very fun.

Dark color, almost black. Light on the palate. Sweet bing cherry and dark grape flavors.
