After getting home late from work, and being a bit wound-up and not able to fall asleep, I figured what's better than just surfing the Forum....surfing the Forum while sipping on this Port :mrgreen: The baked rhubarb and cherry nose has more depth than many other Tawny's in this category. Medium bodied with an early sweetness that quickly gives way to a lighter sharp acidic streak. I like how this quickly sheds that sweetness, keeping it light on its feet. Some green peppers come late along with a little protruding heat, but in just enough quantities and at the right time to offset the acidity as it starts to become a bit much. I've been sipping on this slowly for the past few days and it's has held remarkably consistent in that time. A very nice Tawny Port that is an easy every-day type quaffer.

Yep, great QPR and a worthy sipper. I think we are about a point apart in our impressions. I enjoy having these types of bottles in the cellar that can be pulled when not looking for something that requires a ton of focus or serious evaluation. This is just a fun easy drinkin' bottle and you can't beat the price!
