4 Stars: Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit
A delightful Ruby Port showing excellent freshness and appeal on the nose with dark fruits and spice characters. The palate is lush and flavoursome showing lovely fruit intensity and a smooth sweet finish. It beautifully delivers with the classic Ruby Port vibrancy combined with fruit richness.

This NV Ruby Port has flavors and aromas of plums, blueberries, raisins, vanilla, and caramel. It is nicely balanced by a touch of sweetness on the palate.
The tradition of making Port has been handed down in the rugged Douro valley unchanged for centuries. The valley is flanked by steep, rocky slops of schist, and is the birthplace of this exceptional wine. The rain batters the hillsides in winter, then comes the spring with its bitter gales and hailstorms that eventually give way to the scorching sun of the hot, dry summer. During fermentation, grape brandy is added to stop the fermentation process to leave the wine with a touch of residual sugar. The wine is then aged a minimum of three years in barrel before being released.
