Morgenhof Estate Cape LBV 2001

This wine has dark almost black colour. The nose has layers of the following flavours, black cherries, hazelnuts, liquorice, raisins and black berry confit. These flavours lingers in the palate which has a very soft and balanced tannin structure with perfect sweetness balance.

Port goes well with cheese and some rich chocolate desserts, brandy pudding or even malva pudding nuts and fruits. This is a port that could be drunk on its own or as many people enjoy, with a cigar.
