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

James Suckling

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"

(8/2016) "Concentrated mocha, dark chocolate and roasted plum flavors mix easily in this rich, spicy version. Cocoa powder accents fill the creamy finish. Drink now."

Quinta do Noval Unfiltered Single Vineyard Late Bottled Vintage Port 2012
91
Wine Advocate
(8/31/2017) "The 2012 Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port is another fine Noval LBV, traditionally styled and bottled in June 2017 with a long cork. Noval is one of the region's finest and most consistent producers of traditional LBVs, wines that become more expressive and can develop with age. This is a little on the lighter side-that's the vintage, perhaps-but still respectably concentrated. It has fine, expressive fruit and the elegant styling for which Noval is known. This should drink well on release and hold well for a couple of decades (yes, traditional LBVs age well and develop). It will be released sometime in late 2017."

Quinta do Noval "Black" Port NV

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."

Prats & Symington "Prazo de Roriz" Douro 2016
90
Our Score
(6/2019) A partnership between iconic wine personality Bruno Prats, former owner of Chateau Cos d'Estournel, and the Symington family, owner of Dow, Graham and Cockburn. This latest vintage of this dry "Prazo" bottling includes many of the same grapes used to make Port, including Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Amarela. Offering concentrated flavors, this smart buy is impressively nuanced, with both black and red fruit tones, freshly turned earth and red lily flowers. Fresh in style, with classic front-of-mouth Douro chewiness. Yum!
