I regret that I didn’t rate this wine a point or two higher when I reviewed it for the February 2003 issue. Since last winter, I’ve purchased nearly a case of it. It’s smooth and warming, with lovely nut, beef and butterscotch flavors. I know what you’re thinking: At $17, is it really such a value? Quality Port, my friends, doesn’t come cheap. And when was the last time you had one from Australia?——D.T.(11/15/2003)—— 89
