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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: This is packed with raspberry, blackberry and blueberry fruit flavors that play off one another, melding with anise, fruitcake and ganache notes. A warm tarry edge coats the finish, revealing an echo of bramble. A...

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...
