Ferreira Vintage Port 2018
100
Wine Enthusiast
(12/1/2020) "This impressively structured wine shows a perfect balance between its powerful, spicy fruits and firm tannins. Dense tones of dark berries and smoke are rich and flavorful, bringing the wine to a perfect conclusion. It's immensely ageworthy. Drink from 2030."

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
95
James Suckling
97-99
Wine Advocate
(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"

Niepoort Tawny Port NV
90+
Our Score
(12/2020) Dirk Niepoort makes his Tawny a bit differently than his colleagues. Here's how he describes it: "This tawny is aged for 4.5 years in small casks at the Niepoort cellar in the coastal city of Villa Nova de Gaia. Many other tawnies on the market are aged inland in the Douro valley in much warmer cellars to speed up the aging process and make the wines seem older sooner. Niepoort does not do this and sticks to the cooler aging temperatures in their coastal cellar so as not to burn any of the flavors of the port. Brick red / tawny in color, with delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits. On the palate, very well balanced with a youthful fruity, luscious character, which integrates well with a long spirited finish." Nicely done, Dirk. It's delicious!

(12/2020) A delicious blend of classic Port grapes including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cao, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousao and Tinta Roriz. This fresh, deeply red fruited, slightly sweet ruby Port is easy drinking and delicious.

Jeb Dunnuck
(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."

Duorum Douro Vinho Branco 2018

(8/30/2019) "The 2018 Branco is a blend of 25% Gouveio, 25% Boal, 20% Rabigato, 15% Arinto and 15% Codega do Larinho, partly (30%) aged for six months in second use French oak, the rest (70%) in stainless steel. It comes in at 13% alcohol. This is lighter styled, but it handles the wood impeccably well, easily allowing the fruit to emerge over the modest wood treatment. Elegant and understated, this can be drunk on its own, but it will pair well with lighter foods too. Drink Date 2019 - 2026."
