Aromatically expressive and inviting, this oaked Port with chocolate-covered cherry and sweet tobacco on the nose, setting the stage for a rich and indulgent experience.
The palate is dense and layered, delivering notes of blackberry jam, fig, and dark chocolate, framed by a lovely, creamy mouthfeel. There’s a noticeable warmth from recent bottling, offering a touch of booziness that should mellow gracefully with age.
Cellaring potential: Lay down for another 2–5 years (or longer). With time, the chocolate character is expected to evolve into a more complex mocha profile, enhancing its depth and elegance.
Serve cellar temp.
Pairs well with blue-veined cheeses, aged cheeses such as Stilton or sharp Cheddar, chocolate, and nutty desserts like pecan or walnut pie, due to it’s rich, caramel, and nutty flavors. Also complements dried fruits.
