Shane's Notes

The color is dark red, almost opaque. The aroma reminded Jen of a See’s chocolate cherry cordial The palate is amazingly rich and complex for an LBV. The flavors include cherry, chocolate, butterscotch and brown sugar. It is very rich and sweet with relatively smooth tannins for a port. One sip of this one and you will find yourself uttering, “Now this is what a port should taste like!” It is definitely the best non-vintage port we have tasted.
