Vintage Port

Taylor Fladgate 1980 Vintage Port is a classic expression from one of the Douro’s most prestigious houses, produced in a year that yielded elegant, long-lived wines. Now with more than four decades of bottle age, the 1980 Taylor has developed into a beautifully mature Vintage Port, showing the finesse, structure and aromatic lift that define the house style. It is widely regarded as one of the standout wines of the vintage.

The nose is richly evolved yet wonderfully fresh, offering lifted aromas of dried blackberry, cherry liqueur, fig and plum. Layers of violets, cedar, cocoa and warm spice emerge with time, alongside subtle notes of eucalyptus—an unmistakable Taylor signature. …

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. …

Quinta da Corte Vintage port

Review in the Port Forum
"Pale auburn in colour, with a rose rim. Floral honey on the nose, pleasant but not strong. Dusty sweet redcurrant jelly on the tongue, with the tannins showing through as a gentle dusty persistence. Floral and rose-water flavours in the mouth, not a heavyweight, but perfectly pleasant drinking. Nice redcurrant aftertaste, with an enjoyable slight bitterness to the finish." AHB Port Forum 2010

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).

Already famous for their classic tawny ports, they have now joined the ranks of the great producers of Vintage Port.

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

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. …

Vintage Port

***18/20, Jancis Robinson***

Healthy ruby with a brick rim. Quite subtle already; there is some perceptible evolution of colour and flavour here. Mineral rather than fruit flavours dominate. Very big and full. Very, very sweet indeed - in fact I thought it was from a Portuguese house. This wine delivers a pretty good combination of power, interest and, especially, sweetness. This is not a wine to be ignored! But it's a very particular style....without enormous tannic reserves. Jancis Robinson

Fragrant cassis and prunes nose, fleshy texture, loaded with ripe berry flavours, mellow tannins and a lush fruity finish. Powerful, yet impressively balanced. The 1977s have reached the middle stage of what will prove to be a long and distinguished life. Hugely enjoyable now and it will only get better.

Pauillac, 5th Growth Classification

The 1976 growing season in Bordeaux was challenging, with a cooler and wetter spring followed by a moderate summer, producing slightly less concentrated berries than the blockbuster 1975. Nevertheless, Château Batailley’s meticulous vineyard management and traditional vinification techniques allowed the estate to craft a wine of balance and finesse. The vintage exhibits refined structure, moderate tannins, and a distinctive freshness, making it approachable yet age-worthy.

Fratelli Berteletti

Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. The 1976 Barolo from Fratelli Berteletti presents a brick garnet color with amber and tawny highlights at the rim, clearly reflecting its full maturity. The wine appears delicate and translucent, consistent with traditionally made Nebbiolo from this era.

The nose is evolved and nuanced, opening with aromas of dried rose petals, tar, and red tea, followed by dried cherry, cranberry, and hints of orange peel. With time, tertiary notes of leather, forest floor, tobacco, mushroom, dried herbs, and subtle balsamic tones emerge. …

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. …

Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe (High-shoulder)

Mahogany core with deep brick rim. The nose is actually better than I anticipated with some dusty black fruits, cedar a touch of game, but it certainly lacks vigour and cohesion. The palate is a little tawdry, slightly hollow with an cooked character that jars against some obvious green berries that found themselves fermenting. Linear towards the dry finish, moderate length.

Château Mouton Rothschild, nestled in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France, is among the most esteemed wine estates globally, celebrated for its rich history and exceptional red wines. Founded in the 19th century, …

Le Caveaux Rhodanieus

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 1976 – Le Caveaux Rhodanieus

The 1976 vintage in the Southern Rhône delivered wines of classic structure and understated ripeness, shaped by warm, Mediterranean conditions tempered by the region’s unique terroir of galets roulés and sandy soils. In this era, producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape favoured a traditional approach, allowing their Grenache-based blends to age patiently in large foudre and to develop slowly in bottle. Le Caveaux Rhodanieus, a name associated with the region’s cellar-based bottlings of the period, represents that steady, understated school of Rhôdanien winemaking, where finesse and harmony were prized over showy fruit. …

Malvedos Single Quinta Vintage Port

Graham’s Malvedos 1976 is a rare example from one of the Douro’s most iconic single-quinta vineyards, offering nearly fifty years of slow cask and bottle development. The warm, dry conditions of 1976 produced Ports with generous fruit in their youth, and today this Malvedos has evolved into a beautifully mature and refined expression, showing the depth and richness for which Graham’s is renowned.

The nose is wonderfully lifted, with aromas of figs, dates, orange peel, caramelised nuts and a touch of warm spice. There is a lovely mellow sweetness wrapped around gentle oxidative notes, giving the wine both elegance and vintage charm. …
