Niepoort VV
Very Old Tawny Port

Niepoort VV is one of the rarest and most extraordinary wines produced in the Douro—an exceptionally old tawny blend crafted from casks that have been ageing in the Niepoort lodges for many decades. Deep amber-mahogany in colour, it opens with a profound, richly layered bouquet of walnut, dried fig, orange peel, polished wood and fragrant spice. The aromatics are intense, refined and endlessly complex, showing the unmistakable character of ancient cask-aged Port.

On the palate, VV is concentrated yet ethereal, delivering a seamless wave of caramelised fruit, dried apricot, roasted nuts and hints of molasses and balsamic warmth. …

Very Very Old White Port
in Original Silk-lined Case
50cl Bottle
18/20 - Jancis Robinson

A very rare and very old white port blended from two casks (1900 and 1960). Golden white color; with intense aroma of honey and dried fruit, highlighting the almond and fig. Excellent dry port flavour: fat, soft, velvety and very persistent. Crown jewel of Coimbra de Mattos's family.

Coimbra de Mattos, a Douro family committed to viticulture and wine production since many years ago – a testimony of that commitment is the medal awarded to Christovan Ayres de Mattos, grand-uncle of the current owners of the family company, in the Exposition Universelle de 1900 (Paris International Exhibition of 1900). …

Royal Corregidor 20 Year Old Oloroso

Appearance
Very deep yet transparent blacky brown fading through oak gall ink to amber at the rim, legs.

Nose
There is a distinct aroma of age here with considerable depth and complexity. The nose is dry and serious with lots of old oak and walnuts and even a hint of spice, yet traces of fruit and cinder toffee from the PX. There is even the slightest trace of licorice. Such complexity can only come from very old soleras.

Palate
The first material sign of sweetness starts here with old PX richness but the wine is a good bit less sweet than a Cream. The PX is probably there to balance out any astringency from the very old Oloroso, and there is certainly not much astringency now; …

Royal Esmeralda 20 Year Old Amontillado

Nose: elegant, fragrant and rather creamy, with sweet toffee, dried apricot and lots of almonds. Round and honeyed. There are nice overtones of the original Fino, with old flor and a refreshing lemony note. Hints of Gianduja, cinnamon and varnished oak, and the lightest whiff of smoke.

Palate: a fairly high acidity at first (lemons, oranges), slowly becoming rounder with marzipan notes, lots of nutty notes (almonds, hazelnuts, cashew) and a warm oaky glow. Fades on light pepper and earthy / umami qualities. Very pleasant and rather complex.

Quinta da Roêda
75cl Bottle
***94 Points - The Wine Advocate***

Very deep purple black at the centre, with a narrow purple red rim. Although the nose displays the seductive, opulent red fruit character which is a familiar feature of Roêda vintage ports, there are also intense, woodland berry aromas which add focus and finesse. As usual, the fruit is wrapped in an envelope of exotic balsamic, minty, eucalyptus scents. The first impression on the palate is of roundness and a rich, velvety texture but there is excellent acidity and well-integrated grippy tannins which emerge on the finish. The finish is powerful and very long with persistent crisp, red berry flavours. …

Late Bottled Vintage Port in Gift Box
WAS £24.95 Special Offer £17.95

The Quinta da Devesa 2017 Late Bottled Vintage comes from a single harvest, only from noble grape varieties. It is aged four to six years in barrels before being bottled. It is without a doubt a distinct, powerful, challenging, full and harmonious LBV, with very well-structured tannins, great freshness and purity of fruit. After opening the bottle, its peak lasts for 15 to 30 days.In order to maintain the excellent characteristics of this wine, bottling uses the same method as Vintage, without any prior treatments. As it is an unfiltered wine, it can be drunk immediately, but it will age beautifully in a cellar waiting for complexity. …

RARE MAGNUM FORMAT

Fonseca declares its vintages only in the most exceptional of years, and in 2011, like many, Fonseca benefitted from a perfect ending to the growing season, ensuring optimum ripeness for their grapes. This allowed deep, powerful and aromatic wines to be made on each of the Fonseca Quintas in the Távora and Pinhão valleys. 2011 has thus given Fonseca another opportunity to express the best characteristics of its vintage port to conoisseurs: its concentration of black fruits, its firm tannic grip, its dense velvety texture and its vibrant aromatics. It bears the promise of many years of development in bottle. …

Vintage Port, Douro

The 2011 Vintage Port Wine from Fonseca has been described as "heady, opulent nose. Completely enveloping, Smells as though there is going to be the most fabulous texture. Wow! All stops pulled out for this one. It's all absolutely gorgeous intensity of sweet fruit on the front palate and then gradually the schist and structure reveal themselves. This is really wonderful stuff. So tempting to sip it decades before it is ready." Jancisrobinson.com

Vintage Port

The 2011 Taylor's Vintage Port Wine is made only in exceptional years, following the rigorous selection and tasting process to meet the requirements for declaration. Historically Taylor's has only declared a maximum of 3 vintages per decade. 2011 has been hailed as a classic vintage by all accounts. Ideal ripening conditions in this year have led Fladgate wine-maker David Guimaraens to conclude that the 2011s 'stand out for the purity of the fruit and the quality of the tannins, which are silky and well integrated but provide plenty of structure. The 2011 vintage is textbook Taylors in its structured aromatics and elegance (according to Fladgate Managing Director Adrian Bridge). …
