Fonseca Terra Prima Organic Reserve Ruby
Lovely deep plummy purple ruby. Slight fruitiness on the nose with a hint of almond. This port was a big fruity mouthful with lots of sweet grapiness and a warming hint of oak. It was characterised by its smoothnees, depth and long aftertaste.
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 bright ruby with a plummy fruity nose. Rather dry taste with strong tannins and lacking in fruit. I bought this one as it was on special offer in the supermarket. I think I'll be stearing clear of it in future.

Golden brown colour with a red tinge. Smelled of sweet fruit cake. The taste was sweet, fruit and nutty with oak in the aftertaste.
