For The Love Of Port

Decant: 2 hours - No signs of TCA! Bottled by the Wine Society, although bearing a Gould Campbell label. Deep red in colour, with just a bit of paling on the rim; transparent centre. On the nose there are raspberries and redcurrants, with a glorious thyme twist. In the mouth this is big and bold, with fruit everywhere. Texturally, a little thin but with so many layers of flavours that it reminds me of eating red licorice. The longer it stays in the mouth, the more it develops but when the wine is swallowed the flavours just explode. The tannins linger and leave a long kiss of dark chocolate, accompanied by morello cherries. The length is quite something. When you come across one of these bottles without the TCA taint, they are fabulous. 94 points
