NV Marks & Spencers Fine Ruby
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 2:08 pm
Decant: Pop 'n' pour - From Quinta & Vineyard Bottlers Lda.
Fragrant nose, a pleasing mixture of fruit and lavender. Nicely balanced palate, lightweight but with plenty of interest; soft tannins and gentle acidity provide a nice backdrop for the fruit and flowers. The aftertaste shows typical Taylor heat but is otherwise enjoyable. A simple port, but a very approachable example of a basic ruby. 83 points
