Intense deep dark, almost bloody red. Medium trails. Smells sweet. Carmamelly. Tastes quite sweet, with some sour complexity hitting you after the fact. There is some notes of raisin, caramel, toffee, date, and maybe some lime like flavor in the sourness. It doesn't feel very syrupy in your mouth, nor does it have the most intense nor long lasting flavor. But it is really good for a ruby port!

2013 Mooi Kaap Droë Steen

Light green clear color. Smells tangy. Like mild citrus. And tangy musk. It's dry, weird, and complex. I don't often drink unfortified wines, nor white wines, so it's a flavor I'm unaccustomed to. There is some bubbling, and it is quite dry. But it really is not bad. There is some sweetness in here, too. Weird berries. My tastebuds are kind of just confused.

Fruity and artificial on the nose, I find it hard to describe, it is just an uncanny smell. It tastes like sweet grapes, but distinctly not raisins.

(tried and noted 03/11/2024)

Red Currant Wine (2024, homemade)

On the nose it is fruity, but not strongly so. The sweetness is overwhelming and slowly evolves into an intensely fruity flavor with gentle sourness. It is like drinking lemonade syrup. I am whelmed at the cowboys outside of the fuckpalace clementine.

Nobilis Dry Rose Bairrada (29/7/2002, bottled by RIA)

On the nose this wine is incredibly fruity and it very sweet too. The cork was completely disintegrated. The flavor is very sour, which made me wonder if it had gone bad. There is some complex sweetness and fruitiness hidden behind the wall of sour, paired well with the cheese we had.
