This is a serious looking bottle. Black. Red and white label. It's very threatening and serious. But what about the contents?
Very dark and purple looking. First taste is like a hard kiss. A little cowardly.
Put out or screw off, port. What's with this hard to get nonsense?
Tastes a little basic. Sweet start, burn aftertaste.
Doesn't do much for me. Seems to ride up my nose, like horseradish does. Never had a port do that before.
Tastes very grape. Almost like the artificial grape of kid's candy. If they made burning grape candy with an alcohol content, this would be it.
Unimpressive. It's not cheap rotgut crap, but there's nothing special about this stuff. It's good, but without personality.
Michelle says it has "plummy depth" after a short sharp burst at the start. I think it's a plummy shallowness, myself.
Maybe I'm just not in the mood for this stuff. It feels like it's drying out the inside of my mouth.
Something about this port pisses me off. This port is a lie. A betrayal. It's sweet, flat, crisp, dry, dull. Autumn leaves in my mouth. It feels like the taste promises one thing and then gives me another.
I'm not even sure why, but I don't like it. I wouldn't buy it again. It's okay, but just too flat.
