Croft Distinction
Special Reserva
Super jammy with a hit up front of juicy raspberry
and a lingering black currant, this is one of those
generous ports perfect for sharing round the bonfire.
$$
Delaforce Colheita
A complex yet elegant wine, this is truly a lady's
drink. Although lovers of fruit-forward, weighty Ports
might find it too delicate, its lively acid and honey
and floral notes make it a great cross-over into the
world of fortified wines. $$$
Delaforce Tawny Port His Eminence's Choice
Delicious and dessert-like - a glass of crème
caramel. Though it is rich with sweetness, it has
wonderful acidity and finishes with lightness and
just a lingering hint of roasted nuts. $$
Fonseca Forty Year Old Tawny
Deep, rich and highly evolved, this wine is unforgettable.
Though its weight coats the tongue, it still offers
the kind of acidity that makes the wine dance in the
mouth. Its flavors are reminiscent of golden raisins
and toasted cashew. $$$$
Fonseca Ten Year Tawny
Beautifully bronze in color, this handsome wine smacks
of rich honey and toasted nuts with syrup-like fruit
flavors of golden raisin. It is the perfect wine to
serve with a snack of hard, aged cheese. $$$
2001 Fonseca Quinta do Panascal
Cedar and spice give this wine a taste of winter.
Its fruit flavors are dark and rich, like blackberries
and black raspberries, with tannins as smooth as fine
silk. $$$$
2000 Taylor Late Bottle Vintage
Deep, deliciously ruby in color, this wine has beautiful
currant and strawberry flavors and fine grain tannins.
$$
2001 Taylor Quinta de Vargellas
If one word had to be used to describe this wine,
it would be complex. It begins with juniper berry
on the nose, but quickly moves to ripe, black fruits
and just a hint of smoke. $$$$
Taylor First Estate Reserve
Gleaming in the glass with the color of blackberry
jam, the wine's aromas and flavors hint of prune and
blueberry with surprising freshness and tongue-tingling
acid. $$
Taylor Thirty Year Old Tawny
As delicious as freshly baked pie, this wine's aromas
and flavors run from black cherry to rich caramel.
Bright and surprisingly fresh, its sweetness teases
the tip of the tongue, but finishes with a much more
mellow, almost vanilla richness. $$$$
