Wine Spectator, 95 points: This is a shade darker and richer than its peers, with warm toffee, hazelnut cream, roasted vanilla, cinnamon and walnut husk leading the way, backed by halva, pistachio oil and dried fig details. Lush through the...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 1982 Colheita Tawny Port was bottled with 155 grams per liter of residual sugar and a long cork in 2016. It comes in at 21.6% alcohol. Moderate in depth, this is long on charm. It has a very bright, fresh start...
For The Love of Port, 93 points: Possessing a fine bouquet of Kirsch and briary scents, it developed light hints of spearmint the 2nd day. Smooth, medium weight and generously fruited with waves of off-dry dark cherry, almost syrupy in the middle, but...
Wine Spectator, 98 points: This is distinctive, with youthfully rambunctious dark currant, fig and blackberry fruit paste flavors liberally spiked with bramble, Turkish coffee and ganache notes. As the fruit pumps through the finish, a tarry...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Very complex with dried flowers and roses. Full-bodied, very layered and tightly wound. Chewy and powerful. Firm and off-dry. Needs five or six years to soften. Beauty. Try in 2024.
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Cellar Selection. The dark, almost black color and the wonderful violet aromas set the scene for this complex, dense and textured wine. It has a touch of spice, along with the rich plum and dark berry fruits. While it is...
Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: Fonseca vintage Ports are always among the most attractive and long-lived. This 2003 conforms magnificently to that model. It is structured, rich, powerful and opulent. There are cassis and black fig flavors, as well as...
For The Love of Port, 97 points: Inky and opaque. Glad I noticed the yellow jacket (bee) in my glass before taking a sip. Wow, this is a stupendous young Port and it took me a moment for it to sink in which vintage this was. A massive fruited youngster...
For The Love of Port, 93 points: Bottled 2010. Mr. Messias Baptista was the Chairman of the company from its founding in 1926 up until 1973. Medium amber color with a greenish tinge on the rim. Seductive and understated scents of mandarin orange, wood...
Decanter, 94 points: Vivid damsons and blackcurrants are allied with liniment and spice to give a luxuriously sweet, soft mouthfeel. The rich chocolate notes are kept in check by ripe, enveloping tannins, beautifully integrated wood and fresh...
jamessuckling.com, 100 points: OMG. This is really the most amazing young Taylor's I have ever tasted. Full-bodied and lightly sweet with super power and intensity. So racy and focused. Yet this has such muscle and intensity. Needs at least eight years...
Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: An impressive, finely tannic Port with solid, ripe fruits and great black jelly and fig flavors.
