Vintage Port

2003 Niepoort – Vintage Port (Douro, Portugal)

A benchmark ’03 from Dirk Niepoort—ripe year power wrapped in the house’s trademark finesse. Deep opaque garnet/purple with only the faintest rim fade.

Quinta Poço do Lobo, Bairrada
Cabernet Sauvignon - Reserva

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, …

POLEY PALO CORTADO "En Rama"
Montilla-Moriles 25 Year Old
50cl Bottle
93 Points - Robert Parker 's Wine Advocate

Palo Cortado is a rare type of "sherry-style" wine that is initially aged under flor to become a fino or amontillado, but inexplicably loses its veil of flor and begins aging oxidatively as an oloroso. The result is a wine with some of the richness of oloroso and some of the crispness of amontillado.

Tasting Notes Amber colour with copper and greenish reflections. Very intense aroma with tobacco leaves, wood and spices like pepper and clove aromas, notes of citrus peel and fine pastries. Nuts like walnut or hazelnut nuances. On the palate it is dry, but mouth-filling, well-defined acidity that disappears to leave room for a saline sensation. …
