This Port has a very striking dark ruby colour. Luscious flavours of mint, mocha, anise, mulberry, chopped lavender and Christmas pudding controls the nose. On the palate there is an explosion of black currents, prunes, dried fruit, orange zest, cloves, black pepper and the ever-present fruitcake flavours. The sweetness is balanced by the acidity and tannin structure, while the finish is long and almost dry.
The traditional after dinner companion to a selection of rich, flavourful cheeses and for the more adventurous, this wine chilled slightly, will be a great companion to a Lamb Korma or a spicy Rogan Josh.
