Popped and poured
given only 30 minutes to breath in the glass before tasting.
A youthful, primal nose still, with strong notes of blackberry jam and lavender.
Just a ton of blackberries hiding the super silky tannins. A medium closer to full bodied port that shows some finesse as the fruit is incredibly clean. The finish has notes of dusty coffee bean grindings touching off with a lingering sweet tannic aftertaste that makes you salivate for the next sip.
A fantastic young port.
