Quinta de Marrocos Meia-Seco 

Light brown colour with a honey nose. Just enough sugar to allow the grape flavours to come through and therefore a refreshingly good apertiser.

Clear brown colour with a tinge of amber. The nose had a distinct impression of freshly sawn green wood with a hint of dried fruits underneath. The astringency of dry oak flavours was to the fore in the taste. It was closely followed by a sweet combination of dried fruits.

Bright mid-brown colour with a nutty nose. The smoothness of this entry level port was impressive. It had a satisfyingly good body with a good balance between the sweetness of the dried fruits and the dryness of the oak contribution.

Good deep ruby colour with fruit and plums on the nose. This was strikingly smooth for an entry level port. There was a good plummy grapiness in a satisfyingly full body.
