Winery Review: "A very pretty wood port with cherry, berry, walnut and chocolate aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and very sweet with focus, density and length. Fruity, yet pleasantly earthy. Drink now and enjoy." James Suckling, 93
Wine Folly: Page 154 (Port): Notes of chocolate, raisin, cinnamon, dried cherry, and black plum. We did not chill, but it recommends chilling the port wine. It is heavy bodied, high in alcohol, high in sweetness, high in tannins.
Personal Review: A very pleasant port wine! It is very heavy and medium-bodied. Sweet, fruity, and long-lasting. The alcohol is very heavy-handed, but very well-balanced with sweetness. Overall, a great well-balanced drink. I don't taste the chocolate, but I definitely taste cherry and perhaps oak. Some of the other flavors I could identify would be fruitcake, maple, and raisin. Definitely nutty. I had this with tiramisu, which was recommended, and the sweetness brings out the nutty and fruity flavors of the alcohol. The coffee flavor of the tiramisu was especially heightened with the sweetness of the port.
