Elegant and rich, this dark, juicy port has an excellent balance of fruit, acid, sugar, and tannin. Not too sweet, not too big, it is all-around easy to drink and enjoy.
This is medium-dry as far as port goes, but it is absolutely a sweet wine. A throwback to the days when Douro vintners had first begun to fortify their wines for the British market, this unfiltered, estate-bottled ruby packs a lot of character. Light to medium-bodied, with lots of juicy, peppery fruit, I recommend this as an introduction to the world of port, but it's got enough power and sophistication that even a seasoned port-lover looking for an everyday tipple will not be disappointed. Drink this with blue cheeses (Stilton is the classic), or on its own.
Tawny port just doesn't get better than this one from Quinta do Infantado. Excellent body and richness, with notes of roasted hazelnuts and sultanas followed by just a hint of sweetness. Simply delicious.
Ruby in colour, with notes of black fruit and spices on the nose. The palate is fresh, fruity and spicy, full of round ripe tannins. The finish is long with a medium-freshness.
