Tasting Notes
"On the nose, Port is the rare, shy celebrity fronted by a crew of burly bodyguards: dried fruit, roasted agave and peppery spice. More confidence is gained at first sip, with pepper and spice emerging as the dominant personality. As our celeb ducks into a dark sedan to speed off, it's with a wave trailing re-emergent Port, along with chocolate-coated coffee bean"
