Three reasons for trying this bottle:

1) It was given to me by friends who flew halfway round the globe to attend my birthday party.

2) It is an 18% fortified blackcurrant wine.

3) It nowhere describes itself as 'port'

Colour is typical of a mature vintage port, BUT

- on the nose, it smells like a medical centre

Both palate and finish are very poor, and mercifully short.

Conclusion: 10/10 for not abusing the word 'Port' - otherwise just plain horrid..!

Tom,

Thanks for that.....I think!

It came a long way to get insulted.
