Figs & tar wrapped in a bowl of blackberry juice. I don't know if that
makes a whole lot of sense, but this is some seriously sweet juice (in
more ways than one). Vintage Port nomarly needs a decade in the bottle
before it really starts to show it's stuff, but this is a great choice
to drink young. Rupert Symington was just here @ the shop & he said you
can drink vintage ports young. He recommended up to 5 years old @ which
point they shut down for awhile. This should still be on the shelves so
if you're looking for something to get you through the cold days, give
this a whirl.
"It's not just a job, it's not just a hobby, it's a lifestyle." This is just one guy's opinion who happens to taste a few thousand wines in the course of a year. And as wine folk know, this is a thirsty business, so I wash it all down with an ale and maybe even a whiskey (Tequila or gin when the thermometer soars). So take this all with a shaker of salt and forgive me my mispellings.
