Madeira, 1950

Rutherford and Miles Sercial Madeira

The *1950 Rutherford & Miles Sercial Madeira* is a rare and distinguished example of one of Madeira’s most captivating wine styles. Produced from the Sercial grape—celebrated for its dry, racy character—this wine has spent decades ageing in seasoned oak casks, allowing it to develop a remarkable balance of freshness, savoury depth, and layered complexity. Now over 70 years old, it stands as both a fascinating piece of Madeira’s winemaking history and a truly exceptional tasting experience.

In the glass, it would present a burnished amber-gold hue with glints of green at the rim, a hallmark of venerable Madeira.

Madeira, 1948

MBV Malvesia Bott: Barbeito, Madeira
94 Points - Wine Advocate

Review" The rambunctious 1948 Malvasia has a far more resinous, fiery bouquet compared directly against the 1954. It demands a little more coaxing, but offers absorbing aromas of melted candle wax, smoked walnut, nutmeg and cumin. The palate has a lovely opening, with Schezhuan setting the tongue on fire, and then it glides towards its elegant conclusion of barley sugar, bitter orange, chocolate and lemongrass. The aftertaste is extraordinarily long, the tongue tingling a minute after the Madeira has exited. It is the kind of Madeira that needs to be kept on a leash!" Neil Martin, Wine Advocate 2012.

Taylor Fladgate, 1948

Vintage Port
100 points - Neil Martin Vinous

100 points - Neil Martin Vinous.

The 1948 Taylor's has a strong tawny colour. On the nose there was a wonderful coffee, chocolate and tobacco. With an alluring herbal aroma. On the palate this port has a luscious feel on the palate and incredibly complex layers of caramel, chocolate and coffee. This continued with an incredible long persistent finish. VWP tasting March 2017

BY NEAL MARTIN | MAY 7, 2018

There is Vintage Port and then there is the 1948 Taylor Fladgate. It remains a monumental Port that towers over the 20th century. Nineteen forty-eight is perhaps one of the lesser-known declarations compared to 1945 and 1963, although nine houses declared that year.

Cockburn Port, 1947

Vintage Port Half Bottle 37.5cl

The 1947 Cockburn's Vintage Port is a standout wine from a year with limited vintage declarations, making it both rare and highly sought after.

These elements come together in a layered, balanced finish that highlights the wine's enduring craftsmanship.

Vouvray, 1947

Vouvray Mark Bredif

Deep gold colour. Multilayered aromas of flowers, spices, peaches, citrus, kumquats, and tangerines are followed by excellent balance between its sweetness and acidity. This is sweet but not cloying, with a smooth velvety texture and a long finish with the layered flavours persisting all the way through.

A fabulous finish to a meal can be enjoyed slightly chilled with cheeses or fruity desserts such as lemon méringue pie, mince tarts or pumpkin pie.

Niepoort Port, 1945

Vintage Port

A rare example of the Niepoort 1945 Vintage.

Rated 97 points from the Wine Spectator (in 1990)… 'Another Port shipper once mistook this extraordinary wine for one 15 years younger. It is very youthful, with caressing sweet fruit flavors. Medium garnet with a ruby center, blackberry, black pepper and smoke aromas, medium-bodied, with sweet blackberry.'

Voted as the best of the Niepoort vintages by thePortForum.com - Review: 60% opaque, red. Wonderful mature VP, still with structure. Mint and cherry, though fruit fading. Fabulous. Widely acclaimed, and overwhelmingly voted, wine of the night

Chateau Lafite Rothschild, 1942

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.

Château Lafite Rothschild, situated in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France, stands as one of the most illustrious wine estates globally, revered for its storied history and exceptional red wines. With a lineage tracing back to the 17th century, the estate's vineyards cover approximately 112 hectares, predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes.

Vintage Port, DOC Douro
High shoulder

The Croft 1935 has a noticeably deep mahogany hue with light amber rim.
