Tasted at The Big Fortified Tasting, a trade fair in London at Glaziers Hall on Wed 06 April 2011 (Review thread, containing links to other tasting notes). This being a large trade-fair event, tasting notes generally brief.
Quady Ruby
‟Starboard Batch 88” American Port. Lots of heat on the nose. In the mouth, some nice fruit, with simple sweetness and an unexpected hint of oakiness. Lots of spirit on the finish.
NV Starboard Batch 88 Californian Ruby Port
