Lost track of the bottle, so it was well past the suggested window, but still holds up nicely. Retains a depth of flavor, just a bit of oxidation evident.

Not as sugary sweet as normal port but sweet enough to use as dessert wine. I would definitely pair it with dessert foods over drinking it but itself.

This a wonderful port that goes very well all on it’s own, I paired with some dark chocolate, Cheers!

Drank very well. Held structure with dark berry and leather notes. Yummy. Decanted for about an hour.

very fruity, grape flavors. Minimal acidity, causing too much sweetness.

Very Much in the Vintage Port Style. Full bodied. Full mouth feel. Much fatter than Vintage Porto. Lots of dark fruit and long finish without being overly sweet. Some young acidity. Needs more time though. Still very young in the bottle. Will see how this develops over the years.

Dark, brooding fortified Zinfandel. Tastes very similar to Port, but with a darker, deeper body and a slight touch of acidity. Overall, well put together and a great treat.

Napa Valley - Tasted at winery : Dark, sweet fruits. Well balanced with acidity. Plums, earthy.

I just love this style of port. More bright fruit, less plum and stewed fruit.

This was a great after-dinner treat on Thanksgiving, with rich deep cherry flavor along with dark chocolate and a hint of licorice. Not overly sweet. Everyone liked it.

Another wondwrful port, had this at the end of the night with a fantastic bleu cheese; great raisin and chocolate flavors. A bit of heat on the nose and palate but smooth, I really enjoyed it.
