Tasting - Prime's Port

Prime's Port Ruby
Variety: Port
Region: Oporto
Country: Portugal
Year: undetermined
Price: $9.95

Wine Store Review: "Ruby color; red fruit aromas; pleasantly sweet and balanced taste. As the wines used to produce Prime's Ruby Port age, they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness, intensity and youthful ruby color. They are then blended together for balance and consistency."

Personal: I knew this wine would be strong as soon as I smelled it, the scent of strong alcohol and butterscotch filling the nose. Its taste was a hand in hand blend of super sweet and strong alcohol, with a dry finish. The alcohol was much stronger than I thought it would be, which can be expected from a fortified wine. Certainly a taste I'll have to acquire, but for now I wasn't too big on it. I didn't have food with this tasting.
