88 points - Fonseca Ruby Port
A big, bold and rich Port that is smooth and very plush with a velvet feel. The style is ripe and rounded, a delicious medley of jammy fruits and soft tannins.
87 points - Fonseca Ruby Port
This floral style shows plenty of violet between the sweet cherry and dried red berry flavors. A bit light midpalate, with straightforward spice notes on the finish. Drink now through 2016.
