Deep brown colour with a
nutty nose. Sweet dried fruits and dry oak. Nowhere near as complex
as the 20 and 30 year olds but a good and rich example of its type.
I thought it was time to share my research into port wine with the world. It has been hardwork but someone had to do it.

Deep red colour with a
delicately fruity nose. Good rich body with a smooth plummy
fruitiness. This port was immediately approachable and enjoyable.

This was an unregulated fortified wine for family consumption only so we were privileged to be offered a taste of it. It was slightly turbid with a mid brown
colour and sweet oaky nose. The flavour was sweet and fruity with a good
dose oak making it reminiscent of a quality rum. All this was carried on a smooth and full body.

Light golden colour with a sweet honey nose. Being quite sweet with marked grape flavours this was more suitable as a desert wine than an aperitif.

Clear bright brown in colour with a moderately nutty nose. The taste
combined dried fruits and oak flavours in a moderately complex body.
The wood elements counteracted the sweetness from the berries to give
a satisfying dryness to the finish.

Deep ruby in colour with a pleasantly fruity nose. Tasting revealed a
well balanced port with sweet fruit flavours balanced with a good
body and hints of tannins. Whilst not outstanding it was pleasant
enough to drink and thoroughly enjoyable.
Quinta da Trovisca White
Bright golden colour with a sweet fruity nose. This was a sweet and
fruity desert style white port.
