It is indeed a tangy warm drink - nice but I think my port is so nice its better on its own. But I am glad I tried this.

Delicious, the lemon gave a lovely juicy tartness and the hot water opens up and lightens the port. Better than I had anticipated.

Honestly not that tangy. Felt like a Port Toddy more than anything.
