Wine Spectator, 93 points: This has gained length, cut and nuance with age, offering a mix of hazelnut husk, date, singed sesame, buckwheat, bitter cocoa and black currant paste flavors, all laced with a streak of green tea. Touriga Nacional...

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...

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, 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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Black pepper sealing wax spices and toast are found in the nose of the potentially exceptional 2003 Warre Vintage Port. A concentrated backward effort its youthful classically ungenerous masculine character reveals black...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Plush and rich, with concentrated flavors of dark plum, kirsch and spiced cherry, backed up by fresh acidity. Offers raspberry jam nuances, with notes of licorice lingering on the chocolate-filled finish, which reveals...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Gorgeous, with warm plum reduction and gently steeped raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors forming the core, all inlaid with warm ganache and smoldering tobacco accents. Very plush in feel, but has no lack...
