Port Wine

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 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...

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 Spectator, 90 points: Juicy, with still-youthful plum, cherry and blackberry compote flavors, flanked by hints of ganache, licorice and bramble, which keep the finish lively. Drink now through 2023. 80,000 cases made. — JM

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, 96 points: (WA94-96 points) The 2015 Vintage Port is a field blend from old vines (80 to 100 years old). It comes in with 104 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is another gorgeous Vintage Port from Niepoort this issue...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2007 Quinta do Retiro Nova Miso Vintage Port is a glass-coating opaque purple color. It sports an enticing bouquet of violets, spice box, mineral, licorice, and blackberry. This is followed by a supple, medium-weight...
