This dark chocolate orange flavored port kit is excellent. Equal to the (more expensive) RJ Spagnols kit of the same flavor. Smooth and drinkable without a very long aging process. There seems to be some confusion in the reviews for these Diamanti port kits as to the final volume... port kits are always 3 gallons/11L. I was able to bottle six 375ml half bottles and twelve 750ml full bottles.
i think it will be a good port

This kit came with easy to follow instructions. I did 2 kits to make 6 gallons since this will be a Christmas gift for friends and family. I added Brandy and Grand Marnier to increase the alcohol content and used red wine instead of water to bring it up to the full 6 gallons to avoid a thin port. I did open a bottle to try it just to get an idea of how it will taste and it was very good. It has already started to mellow out with a full rich flavor. I can taste the orange but my boyfriend picks up on the chocolate more. Looking forward to Christmas and sharing with everyone.I made a double batch and with both yeast packets, it went really dry in one week (0.995). Which was a little fast. But in the next 3 weeks it mellowed out nicely and tasted really good on bottling day which was about 4 weeks. The orange is barely discernible. This cheaper port compares favorably to the more expensive port kit I made a couple years ago.Want Diamanti Specialty Wine Kit Red Port Style Dark Chocolate Orange, 13.5-Pound Box Discount?
There was supposed be 3 gallons of juice included with the kit. What I got was well short of that (prob 2.6 to 2.75 gal).
