Fruit cake and wood and alcohol heat, in a nutshell. Take those words at face value and doesn’t sound appealing, but a pleasure to drink, albeit a basic pleasure compared to other fortified options.

Deep ruby colour. Medium and developing nose with red cherry, dark plum, fig, vanilla, chocolate and orange marmalade. Medium taste of dark plum, vanilla, fig and orange marmalade. Medium long and sweet finish. Medium acidity. Full body. A good Ruby Port that lacks some complexity and length. Drink now. Goes well with cheeses or chocolate.

Retail $20. Touriga Nacional Touriga Francesca Tinta Barroca Tinta Cão Tinta Roriz. I do not drink much port these days since I have been avoiding most sugar in my diet. Still, I realize I miss port (or is it the sweetness?), it's rich fruit, depth of flavor, and incredible balance. Here we go. No, this is not the *best* port I have tried, but at twenty bucks (probably under $15 on the shelves?)? One could do a whole lot worse. Very Good.

Lekker, dadels, honingdrop, zacht warm met een scherpe hint.

Love this. It's a non-vintage, but has been in our cellar five years and is still incredibly rich with red fruits. Truly wonderful.
