Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep rose-copper with ruby-garnet highlights; port pipe gives gorgeous wine-red hue, similar to but distinct from vinho barrique
Nose
Rich red fruit and port wine — raspberry, cherry, plum, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, vanilla. Port sweetness is more direct than vinho barrique. Dried rose, cinnamon, gentle tannin, fig. Luscious and inviting
Palate
Full body. Port-driven richness — raspberry, cherry, plum, dark chocolate, vanilla cream, toffee. Concentrated red fruit, port wine sweetness, gentle tannins. Cinnamon, blackcurrant, fig. More fruit-forward and less complex than vinho barrique but more immediately gratifying
Finish
Long finish. Red fruit, port, chocolate, spice linger. Berry and vanilla at close. A crowd-pleasing Solist that showcases port cask maturation in tropical climate
