A very cuisine-savvy friend introduced me to Aria a few years back. I’ve had a bottle of 2002 staring at me for almost two years. I finally popped the top last night and it was well worth the wait. To me a good Port is what most people want wine to taste like. I’ve never felt the need or the desire to become a connoisseur of wine, one who’s able to distinguish gustatory subtleties - but Ports, especially this one, throw the flavor right up in your face - there’s no way you could miss it unless you guzzle it like a fool. The finish of Aria is all any fan of Hazelnut could ask for.

If you enjoy any sipping beverage - Aria should be on your list to try.
