A true tawny hue that if you ever want to know what a wine with age on it looks like this is a great example even though this one only has ten years on it. Aromas are baked caramel with an underlying prune whip and a lovely sweet fresh prune bouquet at the very edge of the glass .
Palate -- super sweet, rich brooding fruit, creamy texture, and a pleasing finish that is quite lengthy.
This is a Trader Joe's offering that they have had for years and years although I never wanted to spend the extra piddling dollars to get the 10 year old tawny. What a fantastically lovely, well made port that has everything you want and more. Try this with semi-sweet dark chocolate for a real treat!
At $13 this is a steel and is a definite buy more! Raise a glass!
