Clunky, awkward, imbalanced, harsh extraction. Very dark in character, charmless. Badly amateurish effort. This is way too dark to be just Mission, since that's a thin skinned grape. Mission is also quite tannic, so you want to avoid too much extraction and allow its tawny inclinations when fortified.

I've tasted many excellent and outstanding ports but this is no joke extraordinary. Aged in oak 25 yrs with inclusion of port from 1966

Beautiful tawny style, sweet, but appropriate for desert. Carmel color and flavoring, nutty, with good length.
