A simple reserve port that doesn't try to overwhelm you with complexity. Heavy dark appearance, Black is a good name for it. Mostly grape jam and spirit on a pop-n-pour, a bit of black currant perhaps. After a day or two it opened up and integrated quite well. A new style port? Perhaps, but it's not up to the level of a LBV for sure, yet provides a cost factor that is affordable and attractive to a new generation of Port drinkers.
