• “Complex aromas of lead pencil shavings, blueberries, crème de cassis, and licorice emerge from the dense ruby/purple-colored 2000. Full body, sweet tannin (which provides definition), and outstanding concentration result in a seriously-endowed, finely-crafted Vintage Port with well-integrated tannin, and alcohol. Anticipated maturity date: 2008-2025”

•  Full flavored with a dry nutty finish, it’s naturally rich, golden color is the result of 10 years ageing in wood. The extent of extra ageing gives the white port a balance and smoothness which puts it firmly in a class of its own. Clear and bright orange-brown. Great nose with hints of raisins. Off-dry, rich palate with nutty flavors and a long, fruit finish.

• Quinta da Roeda is a single vineyard that has belonged to Croft since 1875, with poets writing about it - if the wine district were a golden ring, Roeda would be the diamond. If you're used to drinking Shiraz, this wine is for you. Exotic aromas of flowers, cedar, and luscious fruit, with hints of spice will lead to a palate that is full, round, and crammed with flavors of dark fruit and pepper. There some grip on the finish from the brilliant tannin structure. Croft uses the traditional foot-treading method to "press" their grapes.

• “A fabulous nose of cassis and berries, with hints of licorice. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, with supersexy tannins and a long, long finish. Very classy. Superb for Delaforce.”

Duck Walk Blueberry Port is a delicious twist on the Port idea. Made from fermented blueberries rather than grapes, it carries a big, powerful blueberry character in a rich, sweet dessert wine.

• “Sporting an opaque, black-colored robe with dark purple trim, the 2003 Fonseca Vintage Port exhibits a nose of profound depth. Its sweet black mass of dark fruit and spice aromas leads to a character of immense depth, richness, and weight. Full-bodied, viscous, and almost impenetrable, this dense, backward port is powerful and exceptionally long in the finish. Possibly the most masculine Fonseca I’ve ever encountered, it coats the taster’s palate with licorice, jammy black fruits, and notes of chocolate that last for over a minute. This blockbuster will require at least three decades to fully blossom. Anticipated maturity: 2035-2060.”

“A very conservative nose with blackberry, black coffee and just a hint of orange blossom. Moderate definition on the ripe, fleshy palate, which is surprisingly soft, and supple, overtly expressive at this early stage. Cherry, ripe strawberry and yet again a tang of blood orange and a dash of white pepper on the finish. Just lacking a bit of oomph on the finish. Drinking 2010-2025.”

Fonseca Bin nº27 is blended from reserve wines selected for their superb fruit character and depth of color, it’s well-knit structure, rich, velvety full body and luscious blackcurrant and cherry flavors, also dominant in the bouquet, finish on an intense, lingering note.
