As I promised, and in follow up to the Quarles Harris 10 year Tawny, I picked this up today at my local Trader Joe's to see how this $13 LBV performs. Semi-sweet and smooth with mostly red plums up front, followed up by moderate tannins and chocolate on the mid-palate. A touch of heat on a short finish was tempered by chilling it down a little below a cool winter room temperature. Overall I was pleased with how this delivered, given the price, and easily out performs many standard Ruby Ports in the same price range.
