Crusted is a rare, traditional style of Port that doesn't carry a vintage because it is a blend of different years that are bottled unfiltered. This means that it will improve in the bottle, therefore providing the whole Port experience at a bargain price! Intensely sweet, with firm but ripe tannins and a deep, concentrated core of dark plums, blackcurrant, mocha and sweet spice. Can be drunk earl…

Very deep purple-black with a narrow magenta rim. The nose is tight, with impressive depth and background, suggesting a wine with plenty still to give. The base of brooding dark berry fruit is laced with liquorice and dark chocolate. Fleeting balsamic, plummy notes emerge as the nose gradually opens up. On the palate, the wine has exceptional weight and volume, supported by a mesh of thick, dense…

Fonseca 1985 has been providing enjoyment for the last decade and is at its peak now. A superb example of vintage Port, this will be perfect this Christmas.

The Organic Bioma Vinha Velha is a single vineyard Vintage Port, rather than a single Quinta. The �Vinha Velha� refers to the extraordinary age of the vines at Vinha da Pisca, mostly exceeding 80 years old. Offered in very small quantities, this is a style of Vintage Port more akin to the very best English-bottled Vintage Ports of 1970 and before.

Red color, with brick red reflections and brown rim, it shows great aromatic concentration with dried fruit notes, crystalised fruits, with plum and apricot hints. It also shows a slightly smoked and caramelized feel. In the mouth, is rich and complex, with fruit and fine spices notes, with a quite vivid acidity which contributes to a long and pleasant finish

Fabulous extract on the palate with a tight grainy texture intertwined with fresh dark fruits and a mellow spirity finish. The wine can be enjoyed now, and will become more complex with further cellaring for a couple of decades.To fully b…

Ruby Dum and Tawny Dee - the Niepoort 'twins' as reflected on the bottles. These wines come from the same lot, but over a five year period are aged differently so that the one is rich and ruby in style, while the other becomes paler and more tawnied. A rather novel and fascinating new approach which in our view really works well. Both wines are very drinkable indeed. At the same time that famous E…
