The nose has the port forward note, there is some oak. Not much other than those comes out, this is an older bottle in my selection. Might be weakened with oxidization. With the first sip I get the light oak and hints of the port coming through. Beyond the fist sip I get a hint of chocolate and a really dark cherry. My guess is that is coming in through the port. It is sweet. The finish is on the lighter side. Overall, it isn't as I remember it and I probably need to review this again with a fresher pour.
