Re: First big Port purchase *updated*
So I popped the cork. It was pretty alcoholic on the nose initially. Decanted 8 hours. The alcohol was much less prominent on the nose, but the nose was muted. The mouthfeel was light but velvety. The fruit was pleasant the length was long. I don't think this was bad but didn't seem to live up the the other TN that I have read. 24 hours later it was about the same with maybe a little more alcohol taste but still very good. I decided to exchange half of the case but don't know if I needed too. Thanks all for your help. I think this was a helpful experience. Had this been any other wine in my cellar and I would have returned immediately but port is a different breed for sure.
