guess I shall get this one started.
Fonseca "Siroco" Dry White Port
This was tasted well chilled, as per the label on the back. A very light golden yellow color that reminded me of watery apple juice. Seemed to be a touch of VA on the nose along with a light flowery smell (the name of which i am drawing a blank on right now). Smooth mouth feel of pears, a light touch of apricots, and a bit of acidity that just digs into the gums and cheeks.
Not sure I like this by itself. But mixed 50/50 with tonic water, ice, and some fresh mints leaves, it makes one heck of a refreshing drink on a warm summer day.
To score it by itself, I'd give it an 81
