Crusted Port - Bottled in 1973

Crusted Port is a very small category, named because of the 'crust' of sediment that it forms in the bottle.
Invented by the British-owned Port houses predominantly for the British Port drinker, it is intended to be a more economical alternative to Vintage or Late Bottled Vintage.

Crusted is a blend of several harvests, which are bottled without being filtered and laid down to mature like Vintage wines. Using this approach allows the manufacturer to use some of the lesser harvests but still produce a good rich full bodied wine at an economical price.

Usually a year is stated on the label which, because the wine was made from a blend of harvests, is the year in which the wine was bottled. …

The DOCG wines are generally comprised of at least 90% Chiavennasca and then blended with other quality local grapes like Brugnola, Rossola, Pignola.

Marchesi di Barolo

This wine from the good 1973 vintage is made with the long lived Nebbiolo grape. this is a black-skinned red wine grape variety most famous for creating the 'tar and roses' scent of Barolo wines from Piedmont, north-western Italy. The grape's very name is evocative of its home among the misty foothills of the western Alps; the nebbia (Italian for 'fog') after which it is named frequently arrives on early October mornings, when the Nebbiolo harvest is in full swing.

Vini Classici di Sardegna

This is a sherry-like wine made in Sardegna Vernaccia, like Muscat, Malvasia and Clairette, is a name applied to several distinct grape varieties, rather than identifying a single one definitively. The reason for this is simply that the name derives from the Latin word for 'domestic' or 'native' – in fact it is directly related to the word 'vernacular', meaning the language of a particular place or people. Vernaccia di Oristano is distinguished from other Vernaccias only by the fact that it grows around Oristano, in the west of Sardinia. It is thought to be grown nowhere else in the world. Like their Cannonau (Grenache) counterparts in Sardinia, …

Wine has long been the economic mainstay of the region and a source of great pride and renown.

Cantenac Margaux 3rd Growth Classification

The 1972 Château Boyd-Cantenac is a well-aged Third Growth Margaux, though it comes from a difficult vintage. The 1972 Bordeaux growing season was cool and damp, leading to uneven ripening and lighter wines with limited aging potential. As a result, many wines from this year are now past their peak, though well-stored bottles may still offer a glimpse into Margaux’s refined character.

Now over 50 years old, this wine would have evolved significantly, likely showing softened fruit, earthy notes, and delicate tertiary aromas. While Château Boyd-Cantenac is known for producing elegant and structured wines, the vintage’s natural challenges mean that its longevity is uncertain. …
