Dow's 2011 LBV

Dow's 2011 LBV

Intensely deep ruby colour with a fruity and floral nose. This port was full bodied and grapey with good astringent tannins balancing the sweetness.

Ferreira Dona Antonia Reserva Branco

Ferreira Donna Antonia Reserva Branco

Deep golden colour with a rich slightly floral nose. This port was quite rich for a white port with a sweet spiciness as its predominant character. There were noticeable elements from the oak in which it must have been aged. As a result the fruit flavours were very much in the background despite their being plenty of sugar to allow their expression.
