Alberto Bertolli

The 1977 Rosso Colline Lucchesi from Alberto Bertolli is a rare and fascinating example of mature Tuscan winemaking, offering a glimpse into the style and character of a wine that has quietly aged for nearly five decades. Produced in the hills surrounding Lucca—an area known for its charming, traditional blends of Sangiovese and local varietals—this bottle represents both regional heritage and the dedication of a small-scale, artisanal producer. The 1977 vintage in Tuscany was warm and generous, producing wines with richness, depth, and the capacity for graceful ageing.

In the glass, this mature red reveals a brick-garnet core fading to a tawny rim, a visual hallmark of long bottle ageing. …

1977 Smith Woodhouse – Vintage Port

A great year and a quietly classic house: the ’77 Smith Woodhouse is now at a glorious, mature plateau. Deep garnet shading to tawny at the rim; the nose is layered and refined—black cherry liqueur, fig and date, sweet orange peel, cacao and coffee bean, with violet, cedar and a touch of eucalyptus. The palate is silken and beautifully knit: sweet blackberry and kirsch glide over lively acidity and velvety, resolved tannins; notes of walnut, dark chocolate and baking spice lead to a long, graceful finish with candied citrus and cocoa.

Vintage Port
Remains of label

The 1977 vintage is widely regarded as one of the great declared years of the 20th century, producing Vintage Ports of exceptional structure, concentration and longevity. Taylor’s, one of the most revered names in the Douro, released a 1977 that has become a benchmark for both the house and the vintage.

Renowned for its firm backbone, precision and remarkable ageing potential, Taylor’s style is typically powerful in youth, evolving slowly over decades into a wine of depth and refinement. The 1977 exemplifies this character, combining intensity with classical balance.

Vintage Port
Magnum Bottle (150cl)

Robert Parker writes.... "This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades. Their tawnys are also among the very best, though somewhat expensive. The 1977 has consistently been at the top of my list of vintage ports in this great vintage, although the Dow, Graham, and Fonseca are equally splendid. It is a mammoth, opaque, statuesque vintage port of remarkable depth and power. …

Giacomo Borgogno Riserva, Piedmont

1976 Giacomo Borgogno – Barolo Riserva

This wine presents a deep brick-garnet core with an expansive tawny rim, showing the translucence and sediment expected of a fully mature Nebbiolo wne of this age. The colour suggests prolonged development and tertiary evolution, while still retaining a dignified core.

The nose is classic old Barolo: lifted notes of dried roses and tar intertwined with leather, cigar box and sweet spices.
