We set our Port Buyer the challenge of selecting 4 bottles of Port that would contribute to an exceptional Christmas experience.
Devesa 50 Year Old White Port 50cl 20% ABV
White Port has gained a huge amount of popularity in recent years and we are delighted to include a rare and exclusive Devesa 50 year old White Port - winner of this year's Decanter Platinum Medal. Served slightly chilled, this will make a wonderful aperitif or a refreshing counterpoint to the Vintage Ports.
Tasting Notes: This 50 Year olf port is a beautiful golden amber colour. On the nose there are fragrant stone fruit aromas of peach and apricot. The port has a great mouth-feel with a balance of fresh acidity that offsets the sweetness. The port has a lovely fresh long-lasting finish. This is a beautiful wine.
Quevedo 40 Year Old Tawny
This nectar is made from old, Portuguese varietals planted and vinified by the grandparents of the current producer, Claudia Quevedo. Quevedo has one of the deepest stocks Colheita ports which form a large component of this 40 Year Old. This is exclusively imported into the UK through VWP and is one of our highest-rated 40 Year old Tawny Ports. We haveincluded this alongside the other ports as it works well either as an aperitif or as a compliment to a sweet dessert.
94 pts Robert Parker - Colour golden amber with green hints. Huge complexity of aromas, from nuts, to sweet dried fruits and at a certain point, it smells like honeycomb. On the palate it is thick and intense, with the dried fruit coming along and it never finishes
Dow 1997 75cl 20% ABV
Dow’s, 1997 Vintage Port Vintage & Background The 1997 vintage was universally declared and is considered one of the finest of the late 20th century, producing wines with superb depth, structure, and longevity. Dow’s, renowned for its drier, more structured house style, created a powerful and classically proportioned Vintage Port that has matured beautifully over more than 25 years. Crafted primarily from fruit sourced at the famed Quinta do Bomfim and Senhora da Ribeira estates in the Douro Superior, this is a textbook example of Dow’s elegance and age-worthiness. Appearance & Nose Deep ruby-garnet colour with just a touch of brick at the rim. The bouquet is rich and aromatic, opening with blackberry, cassis, and plum, layered with notes of violets, dark chocolate, cedar, and warm spice. Secondary aromas of fig, tobacco leaf, and leather emerge as the wine breathes, adding depth and complexity. Palate & Texture Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate shows layers of ripe black fruits, damson, and liquorice, supported by firm yet velvety tannins and fresh acidity. Subtle savoury notes of spice, dark cocoa, and roasted coffee add dimension, leading to a long, dry, and elegant finish. The wine retains remarkable freshness and balance, reflecting Dow’s signature style. Serving & Cellaring Decant carefully to remove sediment and allow a few hours for the wine to open fully. Drinking beautifully now but still has decades of life ahead in the cellar..
1970 Graham Vintage port 75cl 20% ABV
As part of this prestige experience we wanted to show how a Port evolves into a fine, elegant and ethereal drink. With nearly 60 years of ageing and coming from one of the legendary vintages of the 20th century, we have selected a Graham Port which has been aged in good cellar conditions throughout its life. 1970 Vintage Ports are among the most sought-after of all Ports and it's easy to see why. The 1970 Graham is full bodied with a rounded, soft character and plenty of fruit and spices that give it a more youthful feel. A real charmer, this is one for leisurely sipping with cheese over the coming years.
