Drank this over the course of a couple weeks. As good as domestic ruby style Ports comes for me. The first night or two this showed very brooding and dense. Just rich California dark fruit with a sweet and spirity kick. Not over done. Even throughout and not cloying. Strong. After a night or two the fruit relaxed some and a strong humidor sense starting hanging around. I'm guessing from some wood influence. That was kinda nice even if the fruit expression feel a half or whole notch down. So best for certain on the first couple nights. Still very good for a couple weeks after in the fridge. Winter warming goodness.
