This house makes rather restrained yet rich flavorful vintage port and a very good tawny called Nimrod. Their vintage ports seem slow to develop and while they never quite have the voluptuous richness of a Dow Graham or Fonseca they have a unique mineral-scented character that gives them their own complexity and style. The 1983 is richly perfumed and fragrant which is so typical of the ports from this vintage and is seemingly more forward than normal. - Robert Parker
