For The Love Of Port

(WS88, 16 Euros, bottled 1997) Dark red, with a purple edge. Quite alcoholic, with sweet cherry aromas. A hint of earth. Big bodied, this shows cherries and dark plums on the palate, with some spices. Lots of tannins. A bit closed. Long, warm finish. We thought this to be the Burmester, and we were right. Vintage wins!
