Dow's, 1979
Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port
One of the Douro Valley’s finest vineyards, Bomfim is the heart of some of the company’s greatest Ports, having provided wines for Dow’s Vintage Ports ever since it was acquired in 1896. The estate is situated in the centre of the best wine-producing area known as the ‘Cima Corgo’, which offers an ideal balance between the relatively wet ‘Baixo Corgo’ to the west and the intense heat of the ‘Douro Superior’ to the east. In the good year’s when Dow’s does not ‘declare’ a Vintage, the best Ports of Quinta do Bomfim are carefully selected and bottled as Dow’s Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port. These wines are exceptionally good. …

Frei Joao, 1979
Frei Joao - Reserva, Bairrada
Magnum Bottle (150cl)
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, …

Kopke, 1978
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. …

Delaforce Port, 1978
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

Warre's Vintage Port, 1978
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. …

97 Points - Wine Spectator
PLEASE ALLOW 10 DAYS FOR DELIVERY
Blandy's, a family-run winery since 1811, is renowned for its dedication to Madeira wine traditions.

Quarles Harris, 1977
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

Chateau Haut Batailley, 1976
Pauillac 5th Growth Classification
1976 Château Haut-Batailley – A Mature Pauillac from a Warm Vintage
The 1976 Château Haut-Batailley comes from a vintage defined by a hot, dry summer, resulting in wines with ripe fruit, moderate acidity, and early accessibility. As a fifth-growth estate in the Pauillac appellation, Château Haut-Batailley is known for producing wines with finesse and balance, often leaning toward an elegant rather than overpowering style. The 1976 vintage initially produced wines with good structure and warmth, but over the years, they have softened and evolved into more delicate, tertiary-driven expressions of classic Bordeaux. …

Chateau Mouton Rothschild, 1976
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, …

Chateauneuf du Pape, 1976
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. …

Graham's, 1976
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. …

Klosterkellerei
