No decant drank immediately.
clear reddish purple with a hint of brown
very pleasant nose of stewed red fruits, cinnamon, hint of mint.
mouth feel of sweet red cherries, prunes with a hint of an herbally component (leaning towards anise). medium body and hot. Needs to blow off that alcohol.
slightly bitter milk chocolate finish of 20-30 seconds
not a bad port at all and worth the 20$ US paid for. 88pts.
3 hours later
the alcohol has melded better, the tannins are softer. The fruit and nose is still there.
will try again tomorrow night.

21 hours later
florally nose of rose petals with a stewed sour cherry and mint.
sweet red prunes and cherries, a nice spiciness came out, medium body still but slight lighter no more herbalness. Alcohol has melded very well.
with a fine smooth milk chocolate finish of 30 seconds.
I like this a lot at 21 hours, 91 pts.
