I had been looking at this bottle in my grocery for a while. Price dropped to $28, so I snagged it.
Not knowing what to expect.... I dove in.
The nose is sweet, with the definite hints of vanilla. The subtle rye spice hits as well. The palate is where it gets a bit interesting. The port comes through with its sweetness immediately. You get some oak and leather tones.... as well as dark fruits. It’s very palatable. It reminds me of something... and on the second taste, I place it. This literally reminds me of drinking a Manhattan. As you taste it, imagine it with a Luxardo cherry. The oil is there, and lingers on the aftertaste.
I was pleasantly surprised with this pour. I will be keeping this stocked for a while
