Port wines are hard to basically write about, because
you can't always attribute them to each varietal that they
are composed from. Essentially, not all ports are made
from all of the same grapes. This wine uses eight
traditional port varietals including Touriga Nacional,
Tinta Roriz, Sauzao, Tinta Cao, Tinta Bairrada, Tinta
Madeira, Tinta Amarela and Bastardo.
By far, this is the smoothest port that I have ever had,
and I let the presenters know that I felt that way. In
fact, I steered a couple other attendees to that table. It
is both full-bodied and rich, and it does not disappoint,
nor overwhelm the novice drinker.
