(Tasted 3/6/2005)
A very impressive and hedonistic bottle of wine. The color is a deep purple-red, nothing Tawny about this! On the nose it shows coffee and a touch of molasses. The palate is big but complex, showing firm smooth tannins, a full body and tastes of blueberries, eucalyptus and cloves. Long, lingering finish. Palate and finish are a bit rough, not unexpected at this price point and age. Why wait 30 years for your 2000 vintage port to mature? Drink this; it's certainly the best $14 bottle of port I've ever seen. Krohn is known for well-priced coheitas which I also like. (90 pts.)
