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.
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.

enough to drink and thoroughly enjoyable.

Well oxidised clear brownish Amber in colour with a nutty nose. This port was moderately dry combining dried fruit flavours with dry oak. It had a reasonable amount of body while the dryness emphasised the wood flavours.

Deep and intense ruby colour with fresh fruit on the nose. The taste was youthful with fresh grapes and tannins carried on a full body. Although this was good to drink now it has the potential to improve over the next twenty years. Put some in your cellar for later and satisfy your current needs with a good quality ruby reserve or LBV.
