References: Based on page 154 of the Wine Folly, Port has notes of black plum, dried cherry, chocolate, raisin, and cinnamon. I do feel like I could taste dried cherry and plum. It was a hearty wine but I didn't get chocolate or cinnamon. Raisin is hard to say because I could taste grape, but I don't know if it's specifically raisin.
My review: I have never had port wine before and this is my first wine review on a red wine. I didn't love it but it also wasn't that bad. It kinda tastes like cough syrup. I think the cough syrup taste comes from the cherry flavor. Overall it wasn't a bad taste, it was sweet which was nice. I had a fuller body than I was used to. Not mad at it but probably wouldn't buy again.
