Tasting- Primes Ruby Port

Name: Primes Ruby Port
Variety: Port
Region: Oporto
Country: Portugal
Year: Non-vintage
Price: $18

Winery Review: "Ruby color; red fruit aromas; pleasantly sweet and balanced taste. As the wines used to produce Prime's Ruby Port age, they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness, intensity and youthful ruby color. They are then blended together for balance and consistency."

My Review: Smells a little bit like nail polish removal. Tasting it I'm confused. It's very warm and obviously fortified, but it's also slightly sweet. Except the flavors bounce on my tongue yet are not overpowering. Has some bitterness to it. Aftertaste lingers and reminds me of hard liquor.

Paired with food: No, and not a fan.
