Hanover Park Port Hanover

As a port lover, I was curious to try this one. It has a rich bouquet that is redolent with prunes, ripe cherries, plum preserves and toasted nuts. The palate mirrors this, with a rich texture. There is a bit of an edge from the alcohol, but I really enjoyed this. This port is made from Chambourcin, but my tasting guide did not know precisely what type of brandy was used to fortify it. I've had smoother ports, but they were made by companies that have been doing it quite a few decades longer. We bought a bottle ($16.99/375ml).
