31/1/2015

Had drinks with my friend Dani, a good catch up over a glass of wine. The conversation was excellent, will miss Dani and Tania when they get back to Spain... On a positive note, will remember them every time i drink this wine from now on. The wine (like them) occupies a special and treasured place in my soul.

We were lucky enough to try some Portia crianza 2013 over our catch up. Excellent wine, difficult to buy in the UK, keep en eye on it if you see it or get a chance to try it.

Here is the tasting note, this wine is truly excellent and good value too.

APPEARANCE

Aroma characteristics: blackberry, black cherry

PALATE
Sweetness: dry
Acidity: medium-high
Tannins: medium
