Pop and pour from the fridge. Drank it around 16-17 degrees.
Pitch black with a thin red rim. Completely opaque.
A sensation of moist dense forest with loads of red fruit, mostly blackberries. Floral input as well from violets. this is very pleasing on the nose.
Medium body. Very lush and rich. There is some tangy mouthwatering presence I believe to be grapefruit. Tannins are definitely present but not overwhelming. A little weak on the mid palate. The after taste is nice with good depth of flavour including some dark chocolate and pepperyness. This is simply put just a delicious port with some zing.
