- Excerpt: Rich port on the nose. Peppery earthy palate. Astringent dry finish. Glad I tried a sample of this so I can pass on this anytime I see it around.

House Review
-
Intro:
This is a young, cask strength bottling from Kavalan in Taiwan. This is matured in Port casks.
-
Nose:
Rich raspberry, ruby port notes, berry, caramel, port port port.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, sweet but peppery, leather. Faintly fruity, very earthy and spicy
-
Finish:
Long and some growing astringency. There's more fruit here than in the palate, but it's still a total spice bomb. Loads of pepper and tobacco
-
Overall:
Rich port on the nose. Peppery earthy palate. Astringent dry finish. Glad I tried a sample of this so I can pass on this anytime I see it around.
