2007 Porto Rocha Vintage Port $69.99

Let me just say that I am a Port slut. I will do anything for a nice port. Could be a tawny or it could be a vintage port. The 2007 is amazing and over the next few decades it will blow people away. Matter fact if you do not have a case of this, I would pick one up NOW!

Magenta in color with notes of prunes, cooked tar or pavement, and a lovely notes of mint with some herbs to follow. On the palate this thing has some good tannins and great acidity. Very layered and it shows that over time this port will change and start to build onto what it will become. I really cannot wait for a few years to roll by so I can try it again and see how it is evolving. WOW!
