Single Harvest Tawny Port
Presented in an original Taylor's gift case
Damaged Gift Case

During its five decades of ageing in oak casks, this wine has taken on an attractive pale mahogany colour with olive amber highlights. On the nose, the wine displays fine oaky aromas and complex spicy, nutty, cigar box notes against a warm mellow background of butterscotch and molasses. The smooth velvety palate is lifted by a crisp acidity which gives the wine an attractive freshness despite its age. The finish is immensely long with rich, spicy, black pepper flavours lingering on the palate. Finely constituted and beautifully balanced, this rare Single Harvest Port would be an exceptional tribute to any anniversary. …

Guimaraens Vintage Port

The Fonseca 1967 Vintage Port stands as a testament to the enduring quality of one of Portugal's most esteemed Port houses. Bottled in 1970, this wine has matured gracefully over the decades, offering a complex bouquet of dried fruits, spice, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of rich fig, dark cherry, and hints of tobacco, culminating in a long, velvety finish that reflects its meticulous aging process.​

When serving this vintage Port, it's essential to decant it carefully to separate it from any sediment that may have formed over time. Allowing the wine to breathe for about an hour will help in releasing its intricate aromas and flavors. …

Quinta de Vargellas-Vintage Port
Oporto bottled

Perfumed, elegant and very attractive on the nose. Lively, tannic and massively fruity in the mouth. Lots of mid-palate activity, really attractive. Sweet with soft tannins and with a strong core of acidity that just makes the mouth water uncontrollably. A big but hot aftertaste with lots of black licorice dominating a long length. Very very enjoyable.

Vintage Port
High shoulder level

Dow’s 1966 Vintage Port is a superb expression of one of the finest declared vintages of the 20th century. Known for its structure and longevity, this wine has developed beautifully over nearly six decades. Dow’s house style—drier and more austere than many of its peers—has given this vintage a distinctive edge, allowing it to age with poise, complexity, and remarkable depth.

On the nose, it offers an elegant tapestry of aromas: dried figs, sultanas, cedar wood, and hints of tobacco and dark chocolate. As it opens, more subtle notes emerge—orange peel, roasted nuts, and an earthy minerality that speaks to its Douro origins. …

Vintage Port

The grapes for Gould Campbell Ports are drawn from vineyards in the Cima Corgo area of the Douro, where the yields are very low (about one pipe - 550 litres - per 1,000 vines) but the wines have immense complexity and depth. The winery is situated at Pinhão, where a proportion of the wines are made in modern temperature controlled fermentation tanks, however a significant proportion of the wines for Gould Campbell Ports are still made in small quintas in the hills around Pinhão, using the ancient method of treading the grapes by foot in stone tanks called laggers.

Vintage Port, DOC Douro

A superb port from a classic vintage. The medium garnet colour has held up quite well with some bricking on the rim, but otherwise this wine is still showing youth and it has the backbone for a long life ahead. Complex layers of cocoa and spice with excellent balance and the velvety mouth- feel that gains extra credit.

Noval Nacional
Level in Neck- Good Label
***99/100 - Robert Parker***

Noval is particularly famous for its Nacional, a Port produced in some years only from a 2 hectare parcel at the heart of the Noval vineyard where ungrafted pre phylloxera vines survive.

"Last July I enjoyed this "legend" at Noval and consumed my share of an entire bottle that was opened for our small group of Port journalists. This VP had a very dark ruby color and was clearly from a perfectly stored bottle. The 1963 is as lithe and graceful as a trapeze artist, and showed what perfection in balance is all about. It is not easy for Port to get much better than this. Sweet, spicy, grapey, mint, big, bold, brash are all apt descriptors. …
