For The Love Of Port

(760 bottles in 2001) Mid dark mahogany gold. Bitter sweet aromas of fresh figs and chopped walnuts but a slightly vegetal pong spoiling the picture. Very fat mouth feel - round and powerful but with real grip, lift and interest. Lovely smooth flavours of crème brulee, coffee and those sticky dates you get at Christmas. Long bitter chocolate finish. Slightly too sweet for an aperitif, this would be delicious after dinner with fresh parmesan. Very good.
