White Colheita Port, Douro in presentation box
92 Points - Wine Advocate

The Quinta da Devesa 1969 White Colheita Port is a treasure of the Douro Valley—an extraordinarily rare white port aged for nearly 50 years in seasoned oak casks before bottling in 2024. This single-harvest, long-aged expression is the result of decades of careful maturation under oxidative conditions in the estate’s traditional hillside cellars. Made from native white grapes such as Côdega de Larinho, Rabigato, Malvasia Fina, and others, it embodies the character and complexity that only time can create.

In the glass, it presents a radiant deep amber-gold hue with greenish olive edges, a visual hallmark of advanced barrel aging. …

Up to 2009, Giovanni's son Alessandro looked after the beautiful vineyards situated in the long hills surrounding Piemonte. In recent years, due to Alessandro's passing, the winery ceased production. …

Inferno is one of five viticultural sub-zones specifically identified as producing Valtellina wines of particularly high quality: the other four are Grumello, Sassella, Maroggia and Valgella. Inferno means 'hell' in Italian, and refers to the slopes between Sondrio town and the village of Tresivio. Although DOC laws do not explain the origins of this name, it has been suggested that in summer the slopes here get noticeably hotter than the rest of the valley. Just across Sondrio to the west is Sassella, the finest of the Valtellina sub-zones.

J de Malliac Armagnac

A bottle of J. de Malliac Armagnac from 1969 would be particularly notable due to its age and the potential complexity and richness that come with decades of aging.

Tasting Notes
The wine is a blend of deep amber and mahogany colour, with a complex nose of dried fruits, spices, vanilla, caramel, honey, and oak. The palate is smooth and velvety, with flavors of dried apricots, raisins, candied orange peel, dark chocolate, toffee, roasted nuts, and oak. The finish is long and satisfying, with a gentle fade of oak, spice, and sweet fruit.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Armagnac is served neat, at room temperature, in a tulip glass, allowing you to fully appreciate its complexity. …

Cantina Sociale Barbera d'Alba
Clearance Offer - Last Bottle | Was £119 | Now £85

The Nebbiolo has a lovely earthy bouquet. The nose has cherries, dark cherries, tar and slight dried rose notes. Complex and layered. Nice acidity. Medium tannins still present. Cherries on the palate too. Nice finish. Great food wine. Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Fattoria di Montericco - Pasolino

Good-quality Sangiovese is prized for its high acid, firm tannins and balanced nature. Savory flavors of dark cherries and black stone fruit are characteristic, and may be backed by secondary notes of tomato leaf and dried herbs. The use of oak has become more popular and this coaxes richer flavors from the grapes, tending toward plum and wild raspberry.

Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port Oporto Bottled

This Taylor's Vintage Port from the good 1969 vintage is mature now. This is an excellent choice for both enthusiasts and collectors, offering a taste of the exceptional craftsmanship and terroir of the Douro Valley.

Tasting notes
Lovely tawny colour with a brick hue. The nose shows violets and sweet cherry with hints of wintergreen. On the palate it may not be as sweet as the earlier Ports from the 60s, but that is very much a good thing. Improved with air time, and by the end could almost detect some rich and sweet stewed fruits and Christmas spices balanced by the warming alcohol. …

Tona - Villa Perla

Valtellina is one of Italy’s most dramatic wine regions, located in Lombardy, the vineyards are located on steep mountains. The principal grape variety is Chiavennasca (the local name for Piedmont’s Nebbiolo and an Italian grape varietal that has been cultivated since medieval times here). The DOCG wines are generally comprised of at least 90% Chiavennasca and then blended with other quality local grapes like Brugnola, Rossola, Pignola. Then there is a DOC Valtellina Rosso (also called Rosso di Valtellina DOC) which requires at least 80% of the blend be Chiavennasca and does not have minimum ageing requirements. …

Prioli, Barolo, Piedmont

Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. Heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry. Fruits are perfectly knitted with the tannins and acidity. It's a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don't underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it's best. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, so it will take on full-flavoured, rich foods no problem at all.
