Graham's Fine Ruby Port

Grace Kim - Decent everyday port

6/10

Does what it says on the tin really. Poured it over vanilla ice cream and it was lovely — all that blackcurrant and plum works brilliantly as a sauce. On its own it's perfectly drinkable but nothing that's going to blow your mind. Fair price though.

Nia Okafor - Christmas cheese board hero

7/10

Been buying this every December for the cheese board and it never lets me down. Really nice balance — sweet but with a bit of spice that stops it being one-dimensional. At this price point I don't think you can do much better for a ruby port.

Andre Dubois - Solid port for the money

7/10

Picked this up from Majestic on a whim and honestly really impressed for under fifteen quid. Loads of blackcurrant and dark cherry flavour without being sickly sweet. Goes down dangerously easy for 20% — had to remind myself it's not just fancy Ribena.

Aria Kim - Good starter port

6/10

My mate brought this round for a dinner party and it went down well with everyone, even the people who said they don't like port. Not too sweet which I appreciated. Cherry and blackcurrant coming through, and it's smooth enough that you forget it's 20%.

Wei Zhang - Fine but nothing special

5/10

It's called Fine Ruby and that's about right — it's fine. Does the job after dinner with some stilton but I've had supermarket ports that weren't far off this. The plum flavour is nice enough, just expected a bit more for nearly fifteen pounds.

Aiko Tanaka - Way better than expected

8/10

The guy in the wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted something for after dinner without spending a fortune. Genuinely surprised by how much is going on — dark berry flavours, a bit of warmth from the alcohol but nothing harsh. The finish hangs around just long enough. Will definitely be buying again.
