Port Wine

Wine Spectator, 98 points: This packs a lot of fun, with a wallop of blackberry, fig, boysenberry and açai berry compote flavors working together, laced with a mouthwatering licorice snap note and driven by a fresh, well-detailed finish. A...

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, 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 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...

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, 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...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Extremely complex aromas that show the classic Graham character of black-fruit marmalade and burnt oranges. Follows through to a full body with great grip at the finish. Lightly sweet. Chewy and powerful. Such a focus at...

Decanter, 98 points: Based on fruit from Quinta da Cavadinha in the Pinhão valley, as well as Quinta do Retiro in the Torto and Quinta da Telhada upstream in the Douro Superior, this is mostly a field-blend from old vines backed by Touriga...

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...

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

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: (97 - 99 points) The 2017 Vintage Port is a blend of 33% Touriga Nacional, 35% Touriga Franca, 15% Sousão and 12% Alicante Bouschet, plus miscellaneous others filling out the blend. This was bottled about a month before...

Wine Enthusiast, 100 points: This is a magnificent, opulent wine, with rich tannins and equally rich black fruits. While it has plenty of ripeness that gives it a generous character, it never wavers in its firm structure. It will have an immensely...

Decanter, 94 points: A blend sourced from three Fonseca estates all in the Cima Corgo. It’s closed and dense on the nose with underlying ripe fruit, and still rather demure even after a couple of days open to the air; immediately big and...
