I'm pretty sure that it is a TFP product from their BOB company.Derek T. wrote:This is hideous. Does anyone know which shipper is producing it for them? If I'm not mistaken all f their port normally comes through Taylor Fladgate's shipping company.

PS: Must pick one up and try it
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

It is the work of the Devil, that's what it is. It's even worse than the Chocolate Ruby they were selling at ChristmasRonnieRoots wrote:But what is it?
From the description in the article linked to above it seems to just be plain old ruby port that has had the skins removed from the fermentation tank early in the process so that they don't give off too much colour.
Whatever it is, it's just wrong.

Does anyone know if it also will be offered in a neat can- as this luxury commodity?

And what food would be recommended? Cracker with Nougat Creme made of pig blood?
There are so much questions.

Before I join in what seems a thoroughly enjoyable rant about this product, shouldn't at least someone taste it? I'm not keen to take a punt myself, as I'd rather waste my money on stuff I know is half decent. I am therefore a tad reticent on judging it too early.
I am also far to sceptical of journalistic experts to accept their verdict. Anyone feel like a frivolous experiment?

Word on the street is the 'Rose 17%' is the M&S Pink Port PLUS a 17% dollup of experimental Zinfandel. That, or on a more speculative note, it's a 'Fine Ruby' that never quite made it to the requisite alcoholic strength, and thus was labeled 'Rose 17%', as in, 'No Other Rose On This Planet Will Get You Nearly as Pissed As This One.'

No stores over here...I took that pic at the TFP building.Conky wrote:Andy,
after Simon's interrogation of the Hood, and the others hearty criticism, do you intend to give it a bash, or are you 'laying it down'?
Alan
PS. Are there many M&S stores over there?
As for laying it down...YES, should be hitting its peak around 2089 (long after I am gone, thank goodness)
