WineFrog explains Port like
Port is a fortified wine which is known for its bold aromas and flavors of rich, mature fruit. It may also be slightly sweet or have a sweet perception due to its high fruit characteristics.
Some full-bodied red wines with higher alcohol content and mature fruit notes, from the New World, particularly from southern California and parts of Australia, can be similar to Port, and thus may be called "Port-like."
