Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalA mainstay on our market, and not just for the bargain price. This is a bright, sweet and direct Ruby Port, supple and smooth, up front and accessible, with boozy cherries, baked brown sugared plums, moderately dark chocolate and vanilla raspberry jam. Bright acidity moderates the ample sweetness here, while just a gentle tug of tannins keeps this approachable and friendly now. Best for a crowd when you're serving cheeses or chocolate desserts.Tasted: 21 December 2016Tasted by: Prices:
