Krohn Vintage Port 2017, Douro D.O.P., Portugal: Inky violet hues give way to an aromatic tapestry of blackberry briar, damson and wildflower nectar; on the palate, opulent sloe fruit is cradled by molten tannins, low-slung acidity and an undercurrent of herbal apothecary; sumptuous weight and polished grip promise years of evolution. Pair with blue cheese or dark chocolate truffles. Port food pairings: cocktails, dark chocolate, custard pastries with red wine reduction. Drink: 2025 - 2030 43543 20% S 750 mL $59.95 Score: 90/100.
