For The Love Of Port

2000 Croft Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (7/5/2008)
Opened this up with Port tongs. The color is a deep dark red. The nose is full of fruit with some chocolate and alcohol. The palate has good weight, lively acidity, firm yet ripe and sweet tannins. The alcohol on the nose indicates this might be hot on the palate but it's rather smooth with just a touch of warmth and a bit of spice on the finish. Nicely balanced and elegant, I'm sure this will age gracefully for decades. (93 pts.)

Kris,

Getting a little practice in

Yeah, and it's lots of fun. The glass recycler is going to hate me with the neck of every other bottle broken off.
