Fortified Wines

February 2010 Fortified Wine of the Month

Gillian Tinney - Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Wine:                         

NV Quinta do Bom Retiro 20 year old Tawny Port/Ramos Pinto (20% abv)
Country of Origin: Douro, Portugal
Our thoughts: 

Got someone to impress or just fancy treating yourself? Why not try this Tawny Port which exudes elegance and finesse.  Sheer velvet on the palate with a great balance of complex ripe and dried fruit, caramel, chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla aromas. Fabulous smooth rich finish too.  Hm heaven!

Decanter 2006 Trophy Winner
Price: £41.95 inc vat 75cl bottle price
Stockist: Drinks Direct Bradford (www.drinksdirect.co.uk)

I tried this along with the Champagne and Red Wine of the Month for an important dinner event coming up. Never been a great Port fan, but you were right this was gorgeous. I'm a convert!!

This wine is in a class of its own.
