Full bodied, not overly sweet port with lots of plums, prunes and dark berries, also licorice and oak notes. Tannins are present but not obtrusive. Tasted from a bottle that had been open (and recorked) for a week, so decanting is suggested at this stage.

Young. Medium body. Very primary with pronounced dark cherry and cinnamon flavors. Not overly tannic for such a young port, but definitely needs time. Would not touch it again for at least 5 years. Has 20+ years ahead of it.

inky purple / red in color -- intense! velvet chocolate cake nose with pickle; delicious raspberry syrup, blackberryies, blueberries, walnut, chocolate mousse, what's not to like! Long AT trending towards straight blackberry jam.

Violet candy and fruit nose. Red currants. Slight bitters element. Kirschwasser and sour on the fiihs. I like this, but it was definitely a confused Port.
