Nose
Pronouncedly fruity (raisins, cherries?) and winey. Palate
The sweetness and smoothness could obtrude at first, enwrapping the delicate dimensions of Glenmorangie, but eventually the two elements blend in sensuous fashion. Finish
Soothing, soporific, relaxing. Comment
Do you smoke after sex? No I have a port finish.

Nose
Delicate orange blossom at first then soft brine seeping through. Palate
Soft gentle, barley sugars with occasional salty and sherbety highlights. Finish
Reasonably long, some lingering sweetness and late spice. Comment
The best behaved of the trio. Most would expect the portwood to be the big gun.
