Wine from Portugal

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...

Decanter, 95 points: Ideal ripening conditions produced classic structure and freshness in this 2016. With 12% old field-blend grapes and 3% of Tinto Cão, this flagship wine (now re-badged as Reserva) reveals plenty of complexity, depth and...

Decanter, 95 points: Antonio Maçanita is known as one of the most dynamic winemakers in Portugal - after spending three years in Bordeaux, Australia and the Napa Valley, he returned to the Alentejo in 2004 to make his first wine at the age of...

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...

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, 88 points: This quinta is in the Rio Torto Valley in the heart of the Port vineyards. The wine is rich, sweet fruited, ripe with jammy blackberries and great perfumes. Open, already drinkable in a fruity way, it is likely to age...
