Tasting - Barros Porto Ruby Port

Name: Barros Porto Ruby Port
Variety: Port
Region: Porto
Country: Portugal
Year: NV
Price: €6.50

Winery Review: Matured in oak; a sweet, elegant, richly flavoured but nonetheless fresh-tasting ruby port. Vanillin and spice-tinged berries and plums caress the nose. Delicious served with fruit, ice cream or cheeses!


My Review:
I was in Porto and I had to get Port wine! This wine is very fruity on the nose with hints of red fruit specifically raspberries with a tinge of chocolate. On the palate more raspberries came through as it was still very fruity. I also got chocolate. This wine was also very hot which makes sense since it is 19.5% alcohol. It is smooth but super sweet so I cannot have too much in one sitting. This would pair well with a chocolate mousse.
