Port Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: (WA 98-100 points) The 2017 Vintage Port, not quite bottled when seen but the final blend, is a field blend aged for approximately 20 months in wood. It comes in with 100 grams of residual sugar. A step up (or two) on...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: This is well-packed, offering the vivid plum, boysenberry, cassis and açaí berry fruit profile of the vintage, along with a dark edge of tar, baker’s chocolate and salted licorice that courses underneath. The long finish...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: (96 - 98 points) The 2017 Vintage Port, not quite bottled when seen but the final blend, is a field blend (with typical grapes like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca) aged for...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 1996 Colheita Tawny Port is a field blend bottled in 2018 with a long cork and 121 grams of residual sugar. This elegant Colheita has many virtues, including a fresh feel and a delicious caramel-laced finish. The...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 1982 Colheita Tawny Port has 156 grams per liter of residual sugar and was bottled with a long cork in 2017. It comes in at 21.6% alcohol. Statistically, this seems pretty much unchanged since the 2016 bottling...

For The Love of Port, 95 points: Bottled in 2008. Over 70 years in wood yet so undeniably fresh. A wild nasal ride with roasted espresso bean, honey, nectarine and treacle all showcase a mélange of aromatics intricately woven. Although the nose was...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: (WA 97-99 points) The Fonseca 2011 is typically more forthcoming on the nose compared to the bashful Croft: a strident bouquet with lifted scents of freshly picked blackberries, kirsch, crushed stone and a dash of Hoi...

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...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Lots of ripe fruit here with raisins and wet earth that turn to violets and hot stones. Full-bodied, tannic and powerful with fantastic grip and intensity. Grabs you. Impressive. Drink in 2025.

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...
