I actually have a different post already written that was to be here instead of this, I was going to talk about an Amarone della Valpolicella but We openned this after work and it dazzled me. What an amazing Porto. (you might call it Port, but you are wrong :P)
I bought this last Christmas when I went home for the festive season and decided to bring some of the city back with me. It has been sitting on a shelf since then, that was until tonight.
For the "pure" Porto drinker, this is a more lighter style, but I find it rather more complex. The nuttyness traditional of this profiles is clearly there, but there are other dimensions of jammy notes and caramelised fruits, and to finish it a well balanced acidity that makes it feel less sweet and with an orange zing. I had the first sip and then topped up my glass 4 times :)
A lovely wine to be shared in great company, and it can be found online on a few retail sellers at about 50pounds with a supermarket chain making a really nice offer at 35,
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! Cheers!!
