(2/28/2014) "An elegant style, full of well-spiced, juicy flavors of raspberry, boysenberry and blueberry that extend with lively acidity and well-integrated tannins. Unctuous and succulent on the finish, which oozes with molten chocolate. Best after 2025. 1,250 cases made."

(3/30/2016) "The 2002 Bual Colheita was bottled in 2014 and is limited to 8,000 bottles. It has quite a "punchy" bouquet with scents of dried honey, sandalwood, cigar humidor and dried fig all very well defined and quite mercurial in the glass. You have to keep popping your nose into the glass here to observe the changes. The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious entry, quite citrus-like with hints of bitter lemon, orange peel, clove and hazelnut, gently unfolding in the glass and leading to quite a refined and sustained finish. I appreciate the harmony and purity of this Bual - appealing, elegant and poised. Drink Date: 2016 - 2035."

Antonio Madeira "Vinhas Velhas" Dao Tinto 2015
91+
Our Score
(3/2019) Antonio Madeira is passionate about the traditions and heritage of the Dao's Serra Da Estrela subzone and has nearly single-handedly rescued and preserved some of its historical vineyards from abandonment. This red field blend comes from 50-100-year-old vines of traditional varietals including Baga, Tinta Amarela, and Jaen. It is a beautiful expression of the region with dark red fruits, warm rocky earth, leather, cured meat and cracked black pepper. This dry red wine pairs best with smoked and braised meats.

(6/30/2018) "Shows a slightly darker and richer profile than most of its peers, with fig, plum cake, dark licorice and toasted black sesame notes rolling through. Slightly gutsy, offering a brambly edged finish. A muscular tawny. Drink now."

(9/30/2015) "This shows a peppery note to the dark plum and cherry tart flavors, with hints of dark currant and graphite. Elegant, with plenty of grip and bittersweet chocolate details on the finish. Drink now through 2040. 250 cases imported."

Warre's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2002
We jumped on the opportunity to purchase this extremely well-priced library selection. The additional aging has resulted in an LBV that combines the characteristics of Tawny and Vintage Port. Delicious.

(10/28/2016) "The 2002 Late Bottled Vintage Port is unfiltered and bottled with a long cork. Elegant and aromatic, this is a beautiful achievement in a very difficult vintage in Douro. Showing terrific concentration for the vintage, it has mild tannins at this point and controlled flavors laced with a touch of herbs. This is a great time to dive into this unfiltered LBV. It still has plenty of life left, but it is unlikely to get better. Drink 2016-2030."

(12/30/2015) "The 2013 Guimaraens Vintage Port is a blend from three Quintas (Panascal, Cruzeiro and Santo Antonio). It comes in at 101 grams per liter of residual sugar. Bottled at the end of June 2015, this 2013 was a bit too sedate and understated after the initial aeration, but it was impressive in its ability to pull itself together, ultimately fleshing out, putting on weight and seeming far lusher and richer. It has lovely fruit and an intensely flavorful finish together with fine structure. It became surprisingly intense on the finish as it held, too, a pattern that was repeated the next day. That said, it is probably not quite as concentrated as it sometimes appeared on first taste. It may drink rather well on the younger side, but I'm always going to recommend holding them a bit to allow them to settle down, and even more importantly, acquire some complexity. For better results, come back in ten years or so."
