12:35 PM >> Raisin Starboard

Ahoy. I've only got a moment, so my message is for a moment only. I sniffed. I sipped. I smiled. I sighed. Ensign's Raisin Port 2007 was a mighty fine batch of sweet spirits. Included in our annual through-work-but-no-longer-working-with-except-for-one friends wine tasting dinner party was a swell specimen, aged for three frosty-temperature enduring weeks, of the Port. Most exotic it was of all of the available tasty offerings, and it was a good wash of our steak fat coated palates. The stench was surprisingly raisiny, and the sip spun a delightful tale of the slow ooze of refinement that came forth from the dark, wrinkly dots. We plugged the bottle back up after a sip each, as the potion's strength is nothing to abuse, and our party looks forward to what Ensign's vineyard provides in the coming year. Something vintage this Port will be in 2019, but its newness today is nothing short of a gallop among daisies in the dew.
