Winery review: Fruity,
spicy and velvety, with red berry aromas and a supple texture, Reserva Ports
are characteristically filed between LBV and Ruby Ports. Fermentation takes
place in traditional lagares, followed by 2-3 years of aging in American oak.
It is then filtered before bottling.
My review: This
was my first time trying a port and I loved it! It smells very different from a
red wine, and I did not expect that. It smelled very, very fruity like berries
and it was a deep penetrating smell, more like the smell of liquor. This wine
tasted very sweet and fruity in the mid palate, and I tasted the tannins at the
end. I did not feel the necessity to try this wine with food like with other
red wines because it didn’t feel empty. I almost felt like I was drinking a light
liquor. I did not try this wine with food and I don’t think I would need to in
order to get its full potential. I bought this wine!
