Sandeman 1934
Mellor & Son- English bottled.

Reviews:
"Deep orange with a brown hue. Treacle and floral perfume on the nose, incredibly dense and intense albeit a little smelly. Dark brown sugar on the palate, with plums and damsons; dense and full-bodied. Deep flavoured aftertaste, big and burly and with an intense finish. Very impressive port."

Vintage Port, DOC Douro

Shipped for the Wine Society. 1934 is a rare vintage only shipped by 12 houses in small quantities. It is considered to be a very fine year equivalent to the great 1935 vintage and considered by some to be better. The declaration was small owing to the great depression at the time.

Harveys Petite Champagne Cognac

Harveys, 1932
Harveys Petite Champagne Cognac

The 1932 vintage in Cognac comes from a period of quiet resilience between the wars, when producers focused on careful distillation and long-term ageing rather than volume. From the respected Petite Champagne cru — known for producing refined, elegant eaux-de-vie with excellent ageing potential — this 1932 Harveys represents a rare survivor of a remarkable era.

Harveys, historically associated with the British wine and spirits trade, maintained close links with French producers, often maturing Cognacs for the UK market. Extended ageing in oak has shaped this spirit over many decades, concentrating its character and softening its structure into a beautifully harmonious whole. …

Red Port - Sothebys Massandra Collection
Fortified Sweet Wine

Sothebys Massandra Collection

The wineries in Massandra were built during the reign of Czar Nicholas II. During the process, wine caves containing thousands of bottles were constructed beneath the city. This “personal wine cellar” of the Czar contained tens of thousands of bottles. These caves survived the Russian Revolution, both World Wars, the fall of Communism, and Yakov Smirnoff. In 1990, about 13,000 of these bottles – never before available in the West – were put to auction

Vintage Port Bottled by Robertson, DOC Douro

The 1931 Rebello Valente Vintage Port, bottled by Robertson, is an exceptionally rare and historic expression from one of the most remarkable and unusual years in Port history. The 1931 vintage is often described as “the vintage that never was” due to the global economic depression, which meant that very few shippers declared it despite it being considered outstanding in quality. As a result, surviving bottles are scarce, and those from respected houses like Rebello Valente—here bottled by the renowned firm Robertson—are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs.

In the glass, this near-century-old Port shows a deep mahogany-brown core fading to amber and green-gold at the rim, classic markers of a fully mature Vintage Port. …

Vintage Port, DOC Douro
Excellent provenance

The 1927 Croft Vintage Port has an excellent provenance having been stored for decades in a good cellar in Wigan before being purchased by us.

Bottled by Justerini & Brooks
The history of J&B begins in 1749 when Giacomo Justerini, from Bologna in Italy, travelled to London to woo the Italian opera singer Margherita Bellino. Failing to win Margherita's heart, he remained in London and set himself up as a wine merchant in fashionable Pall Mall, along with a business partner, George Johnson.

Vintage Port
Bottled by Page and Sandeman.
Provenance: Christies Sale Raby Castle

Bottled by Page & Sandeman, the Dow 1927 is one of the finest vintages of the last century. While a fair quantity was originally bottled, many have since been enjoyed, making it a rare treasure today. In the glass, the wine displays a beautiful light red hue and offers an exceptional drinking experience. Its inviting nose spreads beautifully from the decanter, revealing refined dark chocolate notes layered over subtle, elegant fruit. On the palate, it showcases creamy fruit, supported by tightly knit, spicy-peppery tannins that remain grippy and remarkably fresh. The finish is firm and dry, a hallmark of Dow’s distinctive style. …

Vintage Port
Very Top shoulder | Slightly bin soiled label

Review by AHB - Portforum.com "A lovely rich red colour, warm and dark; 90% opaque. Showing little on the nose, but the little it is showing is warm and fruity — and very nice. A beautiful palate, soft entry with poise and balance. The fruit is generous, sweet and ripe and still plentiful. The palate is big and rich; stunning for a port of this age. The aftertaste is amazing — so full of fruit, of rich burnt fruitcake; mouthfilling and immense. This is stunning, stunning port.".

48 hours later a 6cl sample bottle was tasted which showed even mor ecomplexity, being sweeter and rounder than the pop 'n' pour version. …

The vineyards used for Gould Campbell are based in the Alto Douro area where yields tend to be very low but the grapes produce Ports of immense complexity and depth. The winery is situated in Pinhão where modern temperature controlled fermentation tanks are used. However a significant proportion of Gould Campbell …

Vintage Port (High Shoulder), DOC Douro

Port Forum Martinez vertical AHB Notes.

Golden orange with a pale rim, 20%. Sweet nose of fragrant orange and hibiscus flowers - expressive and delicious. Later this became sweeter and more balanced. Lightweight on entry, with sweet golden sultanas. On the mid-palate and late palate there is more acidity that provides fragrance and balance. A touch of tannin shows as a hint of dryness on the palate; quite light overall. A huge aftertaste, then a big finish of green wood that lasts for ages. 93/100.

This also did well in a blind tasting of '27s. It is a wonderful wine, with mature aromas of raspberries and roses, medium-bodied, with lovely, sweet, balanced fruit flavors and a long finish. Score: 92

Vintage Port
Bottled by David Sandeman

Taylor’s 1927 vintage port is one of the most sought-after and expensive of all vintage Ports, and this wine, from an acclaimed vintage, is at the top of the tree. Released at 'just' 20 pence a bottle in 1929 much of the stock remained unsold due to large volumes and economic depression. Now nearly one hundred years later, this is one of the most sublime and most sought after ports.

Critics reviews:
95 Points James Suckling. " This blows the '35 off the table. It is incredibly concentrated yet superbly balanced. It lives up to Taylor's lofty reputation. Medium ruby-garnet, with intense raspberry and blackberry aromas, full-bodied, with rich, velvety, ripe raspberry flavors and a long thick, rich finish. …

Vintage Port - UK bottled Hankey & Bannister
Unlabelled | Embossed capsule

The 1927 Taylors Vintage Port is neither too young nor too old but just right. It has a gorgeous floral, spirit lift coupled with aromas of bitter chocolate, iodine and raisins. In the mouth it is lacy, full and gentle, filling the mouth with highly perfumed flavours and finishing dry, savoury and long.

Vintage Port, DOC Douro

An extremely rare 1927 wine made by Warre's. You should expect a pale garnet colour with aromas of red cherry jam and dried figs alongside cinnamon spice and peppery notes. Sweet on the palate it should offer great balance between its sweetness and acidity, the tannins should be smooth and silky finish off long with liquorice notes, milk chocolate and clove and nutmeg spice.

Graham’s Port was founded in 1820 by Scottish brothers William and John Graham in Oporto, Portugal. The brothers, who already came from a successful entrepreneurial family, dedicated themselves to producing a line of fine vintage Ports. In 1890, they became one of the first Port quintas (estates) to source fruit from the upper Douro Valley and established the property Quinta dos Malvedos. The quality of the grapes from this vineyard is a major contribution to the finesse of their Ports. In that same year, the brothers opened the Graham’s Lodge in Vila Nova di Gaia, to store and showcase the wines. …
