  From a half bottle. All the elements nicely integrated, and in a good spot - fruity mouthful, and a nice long finish. Bought a case of 12 halves on release. Should have bought more...

  FTLOP Staff Tasting – 2008-2014 Ports (Sammamish, Washington): Mostly opaque. Violet in color. Some blueberry on the nose as well as the approach. Big tannins come rolling in on the mid-palate, leading to a long finish. A touch of bitterness appearing at the end.
