This is inviting, with a core of dark plum, blackberry and blueberry reduction notes scored by cocoa and Black Forest cake accents. Shows a plush feel on the finish, but isn't heavy-handed, ending with a graphite echo.

Winemaker Notes:  Very dark ruby color. The Touriga Nacional’s tiny yields brought great concentration to the wine, while the Touriga Franca created wines of great elegance. Concentrated berry aromasare equally present on the palate with a...

Winery Notes:  40% Touriga Franca, 30% Tinta Roriz, 30% Touriga Nacional. Pomares is named for the 18th century fruit orchards that run near this section of the vineyards where the average age of the vines is 25 plus years. The grape bunches pass...

Tasting Notes:  Deep purple ruby colour. Pungent aromatic nose of black woodland fruit, dark cherry and plum with some balsamic herbal scents and a hint of exotic wood. Lovely clean, crisp freshness to the bouquet. The palate is rounded, smooth and...

WINERY NOTES:  Colheita Ports are Tawnies which come from a single vintage and are aged in 550 L old barrels for a minimum period of 7 years prior to bottling. This wine is a delicious way to end off a meal and also matches very well with desserts,...

Importer Notes:  The steep slopes of the Douro Valley give us the “Valley of the Scorpion” white. Gouveio (30%), Viosinho (20%), Rabigato (25%), Verdelho (20%) and Moscatel Galego Branco (5%) grapes make up this “field...

Dow’s is known for producing ports of intensity and focus from their two quintas, Bomfim and Ribeira. In 2016, these two parcels came together to create a wine with effusive black fruit, obvious minerality and floral undertones; finishing with...

This is a total spice box; more so than any other 2016 Vintage Port in house. Black pepper, ginger, clove, anise, orange peel, cinnamon and fruit cake notes were so beautifully entwined with plum, blackberry, violet, lavender and chocolate...

James Suckling, 97 PointsExtremely perfumed with dark-berry and currant aromas. Hints of earth and spices. Full-bodied, round and medium sweet. Hints of resin. Opulent yet restrained. Shows ripe and beautiful fruit with clarity. Try in 2025. Wine...

Wine Spectator, 97 PointsDensely packed, with lots of warmed fig, mulled blueberry, açai berry and blackberry paste flavors rolling through, scored with graphite and tar notes, carrying through a finish that has a smoldering feel. A long licorice...

Winemaker's Note:A powerhouse of a wine with fresh, dark fruit aromas, rounded off with some lovely esteva (rockrose) and violets fragrance. Taught and muscular in the mouth with good grip from the schist tannins. Long and intense with superb structure...

Wine Enthusiast 96 Points:An impressive, balanced wine from master winemaker Dirk van Niepoort. Chocolate and licorice flavors dominate the fruit, giving a wine that has weight, complexity and at the same time elegance. The tannins offer a dense, dry...

The vineyards of Collares are among the world’s most unusual in the world. The ‘estates’ are essentially bushes of wild vines planted in pits dug out of the sand dunes of a beach near Lisbon. The red varietal of Collares, Ramisco, must...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97 Points  The 2004 Quinta do Noval Nacional has a show-stopping bouquet that is cut from a completely different cloth than the 2004 Vintage. This is far more extravagant and decadent, with kirsch, camphor, incense and...
