Warres Vintage Port 2016
#14 - Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2018!
98
Wine Spectator
(12/31/2018) "Gorgeous, with warm plum reduction and gently steeped raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors forming the core, all inlaid with warm ganache and smoldering tobacco accents. Very plush in feel, but has no lack of energy, as everything sails beautifully through the long finish. A late echo of anise completes the seduction. Best from 2035 through 2055. 3,000 cases made."

Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2017

(7/11/2019) "The 2017 Vintage Port is a blend of 33% Touriga Nacional, 35% Touriga Franca, 15% Sousao and 12% Alicante Bouschet, plus miscellaneous others filling out the blend. This was bottled about a month before tasting after 18 months in seasoned vats, but the just-bottled sample was not really ready. This was instead a pre-bottling sample. It comes in with 115 grams of residual sugar. Very fresh, it also has luscious fruit, vivid fruit flavor and big power underneath. It coats the palate and is one of the fleshiest of the wines in the Symington stable this issue, but its best feature is the delightfully juicy finish. It's delicious, long and kind of spectacular. Tight, it also demonstrated the ability to expand in the glass. Then, it showed off the pure power. The combination of lots of fruit, lots of power and endless flavor to go with the endless finish mean that this is a rather stunning follow-up to recent vintages. It is going to need some time. I did (again) like the Capela, its sibling this issue, better-I tend to lean toward structure more than fruitiness-but at half the price, I and other bargain hunters might be content here. Stylistically, this certainly has plenty of virtues of its own, and it will likely be accessible a bit earlier. Drink Date: 2030 - 2075"

Vinous, Neal Martin
(6/2018) "The 2016 Cockburn's, which comes mainly from the Bico de Pato vineyard, is deep in colour, perhaps more so than other vintages of this Port encountered during previous declaration tastings. The nose is tight at first, almost Bordeaux-like with blackberry, raspberry coulis, touches of inkwell and cassis. There is admirable purity here. The palate is beautifully balanced with supple tannin, a wonderful line of acidity and immense harmony. There is presence but not weight, a silky smooth finish with hints of raisin and fig that linger tenderly in the mouth. What a marvellous Cockburn's! Production is 2,450 cases. (Drink between 2023-2050)"

Quinta do Infantado Late Bottled Vintage Port 2013
91+
Our Score
(10/2020) We've long touted the "LBV" subsection of Port as one of the finest values available. That said, we are particularly smitten with this particular bottling from the tremendous smaller Louis/Dressner grower, Quinta do Infantado. The house style is drier than most Port producers - picking ripe super-high quality fruit only from their own A-grade vineyards. Ripe fruit vinified drier with less fermentation-arresting brandy added than most gives a more "wine-like" Port. Rich lively raspberry, black plum, pan searings, grilled rosemary, great acidity, with significant structure. This traditional unfiltered style comes with a standard, long driven cork and can cellar for a number of years - but we think its energetic youthfulness is perfect now! If feeling indulgent, this is one Port that could pair with a blue cheese and candied walnut topped filet finished with a sauce of itself!

Quinta do Noval "Black" Port NV

(3/15/2018) "The NV Black cuvee comes half from estate vineyards (the rest is sourced from the Cima Corgo region in the Douro Valley) and is aged two years in larger oak and stainless-steel vats. At 20 bucks, it's a terrific, forward, sexy Port offering lots of currants, raisins, candied olives, and dried herb aromas and flavors. It's worth buying."

Mary Taylor Douro Tinto 2016
90+
Our Score
(9/2020) Mary Taylor is a one-woman wine broker/importer/ambassador, sourcing quality wines from various European wine regions. This is our second vintage working with her Douro red, a deliciously rugged blend of 60% Touriga Nacional, 20% Tinta Roriz and 20% Touriga Franca. As with all Douro reds worth their salt, this bottling tempts with floral accented black fruit, a soft entry, and a chewy, earthy finish. Bring out the meat, please. Nice find Mary!
