Quinta Do Noval Late Bottled Vintage Port 2012 (Unfiltered)                                                   $25.99

The deep ruby color give way to a slightly tawny colored rim. The nose was initially a bit closed and took a few minutes to open up to dark fruit (black current, plum, and blackberry), sweet spices, and cedar trunk. The palate has an array of fruit (preserved black cherry, Christmas plum pudding, and blackberry syrup). The palate has a sweet viscosity that wraps around the dusty mouthfeel for a lingering finish. Pair this with chocolate mousse, flourless chocolate torte with blackberry reduction or candied bacon.
