Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve Port 2007

The port is concentrated and viscous – dense dark fruit, with cassis and chocolate nuances on the palate. Flavours of cherries, plum, blackberries, and violets on the nose. Peppery and grip from firm yet ripe tannins with integrated spirit and a long and luscious aftertaste.
