Rozés Terras do Grifo Special Reserve
Deep rich ruby colour and full fruity nose. This had good depth being sweet, rich and plum full of fruit flavours. A noticeable to degree of tannins contributed to the experience. This was very enjoyable after a very sweet sobremesa.
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 brown colour with a rich nose of burnt molasses. This had sweetness derived from the fruits, which was counteracted by the astringency of considerable contribution from the oak. This resulted in a port that had both depth and considerable complexity.
