Vintage Port Blend
Super smooth with a grape kool-aid quality. Certainly has a hot and spicy kick, but seems so much more mellow and vanilla than recent years. Horchata spices along with dark fruit make it drink really well right now.

Sep 28th, 2013Massive body and texture, holds the vintage well but is a baby for sure. Blueberries, chocolate, spicy black currants with a strong note of herbal mint tea. Crazy long finish, still fresh and massively dense.

Dec 25th, 2023Took a ton of time to get this drinkable. Cork broke and had to fish out all the bits. Tons of sediment so had to strain that all out. Once drinkable this is fantastic. Fresh baked nut roll on the nose. Like walking into a bakery. Yum yum
