Not Port wine 😉 but excellent — 3 years ago

My parents went to 🇵🇹 and all I got was a decent port.  (And sardine  paté actually).
Ruby red 👁️ (duh) 
Petrol (alcohol?)  Then dried fruits followed by hints of spices (pepper,  cinnamon and cloves) 👃
Ripe cherry and dry red  and black fruits with some nuttiness and spicy hints. background tartness all along the way. 
Light and pleasently dry 🎯
Paired well with dark chocolate with added lemon and black pepper.  It made the wine richer and much more 🍋lemony. 
Nothing extra exciting,  but does what it says on the tin.
Using this port instead of rosso vermouth in a negroni 🍸 worked very nicely. — 7 years ago
Hardly any fruit on the nose, salty caramel, dried figs, tangerine peel, cinnamon stick, a 
Poised on the palate, with great purity & elegance. 
Tons of spice, dried fruit, toasted almonds & pecans. 
Very, very sweet and yet not jammy or cloying. Simply elegant. 
Suprisingly fresh & drinkable. And delicious.  — 3 months ago
Everything that I could possibly want from a tawny. 18/6-2022 [Philipson Wine] — 3 years ago
Very smooth, almost buttery, with spicy notes. — 6 years ago
Deep, dark intense cherry with a pinch of spice and a hint of wet earth. Fresh, juicy, with nice purity. 
On the palate this is beautifully balanced, with a proper tannic frame (juicy), fresh acidity and great purity of fruit. The alc level is so nicely integrated. 
Stylistically poised between a strong table red and a port, could imagine having this with a meal! 
A beautiful wine. — 3 months ago

Damned fine, but not as sublime as the ‘86 I had a couple years ago. At $50/bottle, might be worth laying down a couple for special occasions — 7 years ago
