Wonderful surprise, a port with personality, high in alcohol but tasty, great pairing for a Cuban cigar

Sep 6th, 2017For people who love the taste of port but who don't want it as heavy or strong feeling as most ports, give this a try. Much lighter in body but the same rich, nutty, subtly sweet taste the best ports offer. The finish lingers forever, in a good way. For a dessert wine that will fit the bill at half the cost of most ports, this one is a winner.

Tried for ages to work out the date on this scratched up label 19xx, but it's not 199x or 198x, how old is it?! - I think in the end it says 19%. I acquired at least 5 years ago from CPR, maybe Poston. Tastes delicious - no idea if it's supposed to get better or worse but it's sweet and smooth and makes blue cheese incredible. Also surprisingly good with Jaffa cakes. Drank it largely in front of westerns with a baby asleep on my belly.

May 11th, 2016Trying this both ways as an aperitif. Interesting side by side. Really enjoyed it with a splash of tonic and a lemon twist
