A very good tawny port (tawny, meaning it is brownish in color- a sign, usually, of aging in wood). Benjamin Port comes in at 17.5% alcohol and comes in a brown contained that looks like an overgrown and stretched inkwell.
Suggests raspberries, chocolate and spicy baked apples. Served slightly warmed, its engaging cedar aroma and full body provide the perfect alternative to cognac. Served chilled, it complements the richest desserts, to complete the perfect meal. Its delicious polished flavor can be attributed to the oak casks it is aged in.
