Gorgeous amber colour. Strong, spicy Port aroma (can't figure out what else to call it). Bottle calles it "rancio". Same on the palate. Very smooth at 20% alcohol. You don't even knowtice it. Made from Grenache and Shiraz. Excellent stuff. I think I enjoyed it more than the Whisker's Blake Tawny. Even better with some walnuts. Not sure if I liked the stilton though.

PS-I guess today was a grenache and syrah day...
At a tasting I went to had a cote du rhone rose (very nice, will post notes when we pop the cork), a CDRV, and a washington syrah (Hogue 99) which was quite nice at $15.
