I bought one of these back in late 2022 and let it age in bulk for a full 12 months before bottling. We bottled just before Christmas and it was fantastic. When we fermented it, we added the reserve at the start and let the yeast do its work. It came back at about 18% when done and was absolutely wonderful. Not too dry, not too sweet. Totally awesome for us folks who love a dry Port. I will definitely do this one again!

I bottled this wine New Years Day. I opened a bottle up this weekend (weekend before Memorial Day) to see how it's aging... Just lovely! I'm sure this will be a hit for the holidays. Yes, it is sweet like a port and it has a nice port flavor at first, then it follows with a possibly leather finish which I presume will become more mild as it ages. I'm ordering more.

An easily adaptable dessert wine. The last few batches I fortified using brandy toward the end of the fermentation cycle and had to clarify it a few times. I'll start toying with different wood profiles, but also good as is.

Wine kit came quickly! As advertised and good pricing

Just bottled the wine today. Just delicious. Cannot wait to see how it improves with age. Hope that this is reordered.
