Raisins, and walnuts. Good complexity, and not too much sweetness. Very nice port. No detailed notes, as it was a "mega-tasting", but I enjoyed this quite a bit. (93 points)

I ordered a glass of this at Troquet before the Steely Dan concert on Wednesday. I was a little surprised at it. It had a very thin mouth feel almost no viscosity. Raisiny flavors and not all that sweet.

Interesting... my note was from about 10 years ago. It's too bad it thinned out so much in a decade.

I had this one earlier this year, and while it didn't knock my socks off, my notes have a question mark and a suggestion I should try it again some time.

It was a great show! We went to see the
Aja show but a local music critic gave them a hard time because they didn't schedule
The Royal Scam for Boston. So they played them both plus a few more that night.
BTW: Dinner at Troquet was awesome also. Since we had not been there in a long time, we ordered the 5-course tasting menu. After 7 courses, we were too full and had to walk it off before the show.
