This is a terrific value for readers looking for an evolved, complex tawny port look-alike. This wine, made from Shiraz, Mourvedre, Grenache, Frontinac, and Pedro Ximenez, is excellent, spicy, sweet, and attractive, with copious quantities of berry fruit, licorice, roasted nuts, and complex smoky scents. Rich, but evolved and supple, it is ideal for drinking over the next 3-4 years. Normally, tawny ports of this quality cost twice as much as this excellent value.
