Frei Joao - Reserva, Bairrada - MAGNUM

Caves S. Joao, established in 1920, became a dominant force in Portuguese wine making in the early 20th century with their houses Porta dos Cavaleiros in Dao and Frei Joao in Bairrada. Given the shifting trends in consumer preferences, Bairrada and Dao fell to obscurity in the 1990s when critical influence drove the demand for bigger, extracted, warmer climate wines. As in all things, however, what comes around goes around! Sure enough, 20 years later savvy consumers and food-conscious sommeliers are looking for finesse and freshness and heading back to Bairrada and Dao. Wines that when young had a vegetal character, …

Colheita Port
Decanter 2021 Silver Award Winner
Comes in Original Gift Box

***94 Points- Mark Squires, eRobertParker.com 23 March 2016***

Review:
The 1978 Kopke Colheita Tawny Port was bottled in 2015 with 119 grams per litre of residual sugar and a bar top cork (typical for the house). It is very graceful for its age, finishing with a wave of sweetness, fruit and sugar. Emphasizing the caramel more than the molasses, this is irresistibly delicious, but it becomes more complex and puts on weight as it airs and warms. The wine shows off its power and hints of Brandy on the rather tense finish, too. Overall, this is a beauty that becomes more impressive the longer you sit with it. …

Vintage Port

"Niepoort is to Vintage Port what Krug is to Champagne. They are both small houses in a world dominated by large competitors but they are producing outstanding wines which very few can match." (James Suckling, Vintage Port).

Niepoort is a family company now in its fifth generation and presently managed by Dirk Niepoort. Despite being the second smallest shippers in the trade they are second to none in quality. Already famous for their classic tawny ports, they have now joined the ranks of the great producers of Vintage Port.

Vintage Port must be bottled within two years of the harvest date and be 100 per cent wine from that harvest. …

Quinta da Cavadinha Vintage Port

The 1978 Warre Cavadinha is the first release from this estate after it was purchased by the Symington family in 1978. The late ripening cycle of this estate dictates the style of Cavadinha Ports; they are fresh, elegant and have very fine aromas and now form the backbone of Warre’s Vintage Port.

Old vines make up a very high proportion of the vineyard, consequently these wines are dark and concentrated, but the south easterly aspect and higher altitude results in a very elegant style. The wines from the lower vineyards that border the Pinhão River are tannic, dark purple-red and concentrated but have superb aromas of tea-rose and violets. …

Terrantez Vintage Madeira
97 Points - Wine Spectator
37.5cl Half Bottle
PLEASE ALLOW 10 DAYS FOR DELIVERY

Blandy's, a family-run winery since 1811, is renowned for its dedication to Madeira wine traditions. The Terrantez 1977 was aged for 38 years in seasoned American oak casks using the traditional canteiro method, beginning in the warm attic floors of their Funchal lodge and gradually moving to cooler levels over time. This careful ageing process has resulted in a wine of remarkable complexity and elegance.

Tasting Notes:
This distinguished 1977 vintage from Blandy’s presents a vibrant bouquet of dried citrus, roasted peach, tropical fruits, marzipan, and flan. Subtle smoky nuances, reminiscent of peat, intertwine with truffle and forest floor elements, leading to an exceptionally fresh and pure finish. …

Margaux- Barton & Guestier

Appearance: Likely a brick-tinged garnet or tawny rim, somewhat faded color intensity.

Aromas: Tertiary aromas will dominate. Think dried red / black fruits (dried cherry, plum), leather, forest floor, tobacco, old wood, possibly dried herbs. Some residual floral hints (rose, violet) might survive.

Palate / Structure: The primary fruit will be weak or receded. Tannins will be very soft (or perhaps somewhat mellowed to a gentle grip). Acidity will likely be low to moderate. The mid-palate may show earthiness, mushroom, underbrush, and that aged Bordeaux feel.

Finish & Complexity: The finish will probably be medium to short. …

Vintage Port
HALF BOTTLE

The 1977 Graham's vintage port is a stunning example of a fully declared vintage. Intense candied fruit aromas intermingle with cinnamon and clove spice leading to a palate of sweet jammy figs and milk chocolate notes. A fine port with long lingering finish that is ready for drinking now but, obviously as with all great ports, has many years ahead of it.

Vintage Port

The 1977 Taylor's Vintage Port is an incredible wine from an outstanding vintage. Great plum red, vibrant. Fresh nose, clean fruit with delicate floral notes. A wine with great complexity of fruit – berry and spice, dense, luscious and concentrated, yet with a soft, delicate finish which belies the inner strength.

Reviews:
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. …

Rocca Bernarda

This mature Cabernet reveals a restrained, Old World profile shaped by age and careful evolution. The nose is immediately savory, offering dried blackcurrant, stewed plum, and blackberry compote, layered with cedarwood, graphite, and cigar box.

The fruit has moved into dried and savory territory—black cherry skin, cassis, and prune—supported by subtle earthy notes and a fine mineral edge. …

Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe

Château Lafite Rothschild 1976

Vintage & Background
1976 was not one of the most consistent years in Bordeaux, but Lafite Rothschild delivered a standout example — many consider it one of the best Lafites of the 1970s. The growing season had its challenges, yet enough heat and ripeness were achieved to produce a wine that has aged remarkably well.

Appearance & Nose
In the glass the wine shows mature colouring: deep ruby with signs of brick at the rim, and a subtle amber/orange tinge beginning to show at the edges. On the nose expect classic mature Pauillac aromas — dried black fruits (blackcurrant, plum), cedarwood, cigar ash, graphite, hints of leather, mushroom, and tobacco. …

On the palate, the wine is light to medium-bodied, with softened tannins and a silky, mature texture. …

Domaine du Grand Tunel - E. Jeune

An outstanding wine still with a deep red colour. This has really strong bouquet with lovely packing in it; there is charm in the soft red fruits, but power and depth in behind, via some tobacco and rum: all comes in a silken air. This is rich on the palate, backed by good structure and tannin to keep it in shape. Very good length.

50 Year Old Tawny Port
***95 Points- GOLD- Decanter 2023***

Beautiful pale tawny in colour. The 50-Year-Old Tawny is exceptionally pronounced and complex in aroma profile. Intense aromas of dried fruits, roasted walnuts, toffee and spice burst out of the glass. Velvety smooth on the palate, with a bright acidity keeping the decadent flavours on the straight and narrow and all culminating in a deliciously lingering finish.

There are few more iconic images in the world of wine than the ‘Don’, the logo created for the Sandeman family in 1928 by George Massiot Brown. The cape was modelled on the attire worn by university students in Porto, while the wide-brimmed hat was a nod to the family’s presence in Jerez. …
