Beaulieu Vineyard SignetCollection Port 2000

Full ruby-violet color. Ripe, jammy blackberry, licorice and pepper aromas with a hint of dark chocolate make this our most intensely aromatic Port yet. Full-bodied, yet graceful blackfruit, cassis and spicy-blackpepper flavors are enriched by firm but integrated tannins, and a warm but not fiery finish. The alcohol is already well-married into the structure of the wine, and the luscious finish suggests this wine will age gracefully for a decade or more. Ideal with chocolate or berry fruit desserts, as well as blue-veined cheeses
