Colheita Port

Niepoort 1944 Colheita Port is a remarkable and rare single-harvest tawny Port that stands as a true testament to time and craftsmanship. "Colheita" means "harvest" in Portuguese, and these Ports are aged in wooden casks for a minimum of seven years — but in the case of Niepoort’s 1944, we're talking about decades of cask ageing, often until bottling in the 1970's. This prolonged ageing process produces a wine of stunning depth, complexity, and elegance.

In the glass, the 1944 Colheita shows a beautiful amber-tawny color, with greenish hues on the rim — a telltale sign of serious age. The nose is intoxicatingly complex, …

Pauillac Grand Cru Classe, Bordeaux

Mature mahogany colour, a little cloudy. Plenty of glycerine, unctuous and creamy port like texture, but without the sweetness, which one could expect given that 1948 wasn’t a very ripe vintage. It kept getting better in the glass.

Vintage Port, DOC Douro
In neck, badly chipped capsule, unlabelled

Declared by some shippers, despite the war, and in some cases declared and bottled in 1945 to celebrate Victory. First Vintage to be bottled exclusively in Portugal, rather than shipped in cask as was customary.

Little known, and production was small due to continued post-war restrictions, but well-cellared wines are still a pleasure.

Armagnac 1942 Vintage

The 1942 Janneau Armanac is the expression of a single year and has a unique character associated with the year and the cask in which it has been stored. These vintages are bottled at the alcohol level in which they naturally come out of the cask. There is a wonderful contrast between the sweet and sour flavours of wood, amplified by the strong alcoholic degree. Rich palate feeling the alcohol and the concentration of dry plums, spicy with persistent flavour of rancio and of spices, but round, soft and long in the finish. The tannins are very present, but full-bodied and round.

A powerful wine but also balanced and elegant with a singular persistent finish.
