Deep ruby colour and fruity
nose. This was a good rich fruity port matching full grape flavours
with a balancing level of tannin.
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.

Martha's Rosé Port
Martha's Rosé Port
Deep reddish pink colour.
Predominantly cherry on the nose. The cherry theme continued in the
taste which was rich with an appropriate level of sweetness. We were
informed that the grape variety elegance had been used to produce
this distinctive port.
Martha's Tawny 10 Year Old
Martha's Tawny 10 Year Old
Dark brown with a hint of
red. Rich nutty nose. Sweet and complex with bitter oak predominating
over the sweetness of dried fruits. A refreshingly different example
of this style.
Labels:
Tawny 10 Year Old
Location:
Peso da Régua, Portugal
Martha's Dry White
Martha's Dry White
Pale yellow colour with a
fruity nose. Moderately dry but just enough sugar to allow subtle
grape flavours to join the usual spiciness associated with this
style. This resulted in an interestingly balanced overall taste.
