Last one in the cellar — still drinking well, above the price point. Wish I had more.

Rich eith raison and molasses on the nose.

Delicious! Had no idea that Australia made port this good, and affordable. Terrific, smooth fig and plum. Aged and neither sharp nor grapey. If you see it, buy it.

The wine looks Tawny colored.

Molasses, pepper, butterscotch candy that's been roasted a bit. Very nice.

Sweeter than average tawny and straightforward, but still has nice richness in its raisin and light carmel notes. Good value.

Ruby Tawny in color. full body with sweet red fruit

Used whole bottle in marinade for roast pork for 14 people, then reduced to a thick sauce that was well-received. Sweet, plummy, dark brown.

This is an incredible wine for the price. Dark, with some bricking. A blend of very old Australian ports. Excellent.

Color a cross between a ruby and a tawny. Sweet with touch of red fruit and caramel nuts and savoury elements. Tremendous value

Consistent with previous notes. What a go to value.

Drank with Brie, shropshire? Blue. Excellent body, full and ripe, no lingering after taste.

Aggressive raisin & plum. Bit too sweet and lacking complexity for my liking.

Great value. A crowd pleaser.

Really liked this ...tons of raisins, kind of an amarone port!

Very pleasing: burnt sugar, raisins, stewed prunes, a slight bitter note to offset the sweetness. Great QPR.

Excellent port for the price. Lots of burnt caramel and dark prunes. A tad sweet.

Dark brown in color. Reminds me of coffee. Nose of molases dates and raisins. Great velvet mouthcoating. I'm shocked they sold this for $7 something. It is rockin! Sweet caramel and butterscotch to the taste. I think this is a great find. Glad WL shipped me two bottles by mistake.

On the second day, the nose was just right on: caramel. On the palette: molasses, chocolate and a tad of butterscotch. Nice to drink at night with a long aftertaste. Not a lot of raisins and nuts, but you cannot beat this price.

Delightful on the rocks with a cigar...

Dark brown/deep red color. Molasses on the nose. A sweet, buttery, caramel flavor. Very nice.

Drank over one week. Raisins, caramel, cola, cinnamon, vanilla on the nose. On the palate, molasses, prunes, almond syrup, raisin. Excellent. Tremendous value. Drink or hold.

Drank over two weeks. Nose of raisin cookies, caramel, cola, cinnamon, vanilla. On the palate raisin, molasses, prunes. almond syrup. Excellent. Screaming value. Drink or hold.

Just a comment on all the other tasting notes for this wine; of ocurse it is good at the price. $8 for a bottle of port? :) For the style of Port (cheap Tawny), I suppose this is a 90+ pointer. However, if I disregard the price, I'm left with a Port that is just too sweet for my taste. Yes there are nuts and raisin, but I also felt like I was drinking sugar. Having said that, if you …

Nice tawny color. Amazing nose- cinnamon, vanilla, caramel and toasted pecans. Nice flavor as well. Not too sweet. Lots of raisins, prunes, vanilla, cinnamon and hint of cocoa on the end. Very smooth. Amazing QPR. Drank this bottle over a period of three weeks and it just kept getting better.
