Sweet port and smoky peat were wonderfully harmonized. It went down too easily, and sadly, I've finished the bottle. That's the worst part.
Personal winner of the evening. 2009 Port Pipe Edition.
The specific one I sampled was a 9-year-old single barrel aged in a Port pipe.
Okay. I can no longer trust that individual.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
