My choice for this weekend's Open That Bottle Night. Clear, bright, medium intensity straw yellow. Clean, medium-full intensity aromas: rich yeast roll and oak, caramel, toasted almonds, yellow apple, and Bosc pear. Dry on the palate with medium-full acidity, full bodied, and intense flavors. Yellow apple, pear, lightly toasted nuts,
The color is bright pink, really very pretty, clear and bright. Aromas of dried strawberries and a bit of cherry waft up from the glass. On the palate, strawberries with a twist of lemon, a faint hint of blackberry on the mid-palate, with a mid-length finish. Acids are good, tannins

Very light, almost clear, copper color. The nose is interesting, a bouquet of white flowers and pencil shavings. On the palate it has huge flavors of pencil shavings with flint, rose water, pepper, and red currants. Smoke lingers on the finish. Pair with a fruit tart dessert. Recommended. DH WHO:
Rich, buttery red fruit in aroma, with fruit nicely integrated into classic port profile so tannins feel light on the tongue. Grapes, figs and dried red fruit elements in flavor. A long exhale of a finish. Good with dark chocolate. Recommended. BSE WHO: Sandeman WHAT: Port WHERE: Porto, Portugal WHEN:
