The taste is rich and decadent with flavors of plum, cherry, strawberry, lingonberry, watermelon, and chocolate on a silky smooth full body. The finish is long and moderately bitter and astringent, featuring notes of oak, dark chocolate, tobacco, roasted marshmallow, forest floor, and coffee. Overall, this is by far the most complex and luxurious tasting Porto of the ones I&#8217;ve sampled; this wine is absolutely bursting with flavors from all across the wine spectrum expertly layered and balanced and smooth. Perfection in a glass.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot_20260726-185035-258x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot_20260726-185035-258x300.png 258w, https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot_20260726-185035-881x1024.png 881w, https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot_20260726-185035-768x893.png 768w, https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot_20260726-185035-508x591.png 508w, https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot_20260726-185035.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[362],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-7042","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-lbv-port"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"43% Touriga Franca, 30% Touriga Nacional, 17% Tinta Roriz, 6% Tinta Barroca, 4% Tinto C\u00e3o","hops":"","additions":"Aged in oak vats for 4 years, then another 4 years in the bottle","yeast":"Wine","abv":20,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/7042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7042"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/7042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7046,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/7042\/revisions\/7046"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=7042"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=7042"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=7042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
