Boplaas Calitzdorp Cape Ruby Port NV 88 Points



Clear, garnet, less dark than the KWV Cape Ruby, also showing advanced color and mature nose, when comparing the Douro Valley examples are more purple in color and have more upfront primary red fruits medley.
Subtle and delicate with earthy prune note, slight over ripeness, spicy texture with dried mint freshness, leather, powerful and rich.
100% Calitzdorp grown Portuguese varieties blend! A very good buy for its price, good aperitif suggestions.
