It's very light and delicate. We buy half of the bottles in our local Whole Foods every time they are not sold out. ;-) Thanks for the link to Rogov's reviews, awesome! - ask A favorite of my wife and I is Warre’s “Otima 10-year tawny”.

Sadly, one of the first ports I ever had was the most amazing, smooth vintages ever, and I now risk all kinds of crap to maybe once again have that experience. It's happened maybe two times since. Price and age seem to have no bearing. On the other hand, I had a zinfandel port on Friday, and it was incredible. I'd never had (or even heard of) one before. You speak true.
