Vintage Port

Vintage Port accounts for only a fraction of the total Port production – which includes Tawny, Ruby, Late-Bottled Vintage and Single Quinta Vintage styles, among others – but is the finest, longest-lived and most expensive style around; the best are as good as any wine in existence. Made from a blend of wines from a producer's finest plots, it is aged for around 18 months in wooden casks, followed by at least 15 years ageing in bottle.

2016 DouRosa, Tinto, Quinta de la Rosa, Douro, Portugal

Add to Wishlist

Quinta De La Rosa, Drink now,

The 2016 Tinto douROSA is unoaked and comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a fruity little Beaujolais-styled wine, but it typically does nicely. Its fresh fruit and vivid flavor are supported by its structure as a rule, some acidity to go with ripe tannins. Its freshness makes it sing. So, too, this year. I think the 2015 year was better for this style, granting that they are not side by side, but there isn't a huge difference in style, just changes along the margins. This is very pretty, a perfect summer red, something you can drink casually and a little cooler than normal. It is nicely priced and made for immediate consumption. It may hold a bit, but drink it as young as possible. It is worth leaning up just now.

Cockburn, Ready, but will keep,

This vintage Cockburn performed on a par with the likes of Taylor, Graham and Fonseca. It is a classic port and undoubtedle their best since 1977. There is elegance and masses of concentrated fruits, and a dry and excessively long finish. Try it in 2005; we expect it to be long lived (2030).

1994 Berrys' Own Selection

Add to Wishlist

Smith Woodhouse, Ready, but will keep,

Another brand in the Symington family portfolio and, while Smith Woodhouse might not have top-flight status, it is without doubt a pretender, with five members of the Symington family currently engaged in the management of the estate. Through the last 200 years, this small Port company has built a reputation for outstanding Vintage Ports. In their youth, they show all the immense depth and concentration of one of the top half-dozen brands but, with its more modest name, they represent superb value.

With a deep colour, the nose of this Port is a concentrated mixture of spice and fruitcake. This is a full, fat and powerful wine with a good length. A wine with great potential.

1980 Quarles Harris

Add to Wishlist

Quarles Harris, Drink now,

It’s well known that the Symington stable was in fine form for the 1980 Vintage, a declaration overshadowed by 1977 but one that has provided well balanced, charming and very enjoyable wines. Quarles Harris is one of the Symington’s second string, but along with Smith Woodhouse and Gould Campbell, should never be overlooked. Drinking at its best now-2015.

Warre, Ready, but will keep,

The Warre 83 is showing beautifully at the moment, its rich luxuriant colour offering intimations of maturity and depth. The core of fruit is poised and elegant, the tannins finely crafted and softening, the spirit not overwhelming but well integrated. An under-rated vintage that is now showing its full worth.

1985 Dow's, Port, Portugal

Add to Wishlist

Dow, Ready, but will keep,

Dow's Vintage Ports are among the longest-lived, possessing impressive backbone and structure; they are also at the drier end of the scale and often show magical qualities on the nose. The Symington family has been involved with Dow’s most of the 20th century, taking full control in 1961 and building on the legacy of the preceding Silva and Dow families. Five members of the Symington family are currently engaged in the management of Dow’s, which is the only surviving independent Port producer in the hands of just one family amongst all the great historic Port companies.

Elegant and refined, yet full of rich dried fruits, this exemplary Vintage Port will round off dinner very stylishly.

1983 Fonseca

Add to Wishlist

Fonseca, Ready, but will keep,

Fonseca is one of the great port lodges, producing the most exotic and most complex port. If Fonseca lacks the sheer weight and power of a Taylor, Dow or Warre, or the opulent sweetness and intensity of a Graham, it excels in its magnificently complex, intense bouquet of plummy, cedary, spicy fruit and long, broad, expansive flavors.

With its lush, seductive character, one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. When it is young, it often loses out in blind tastings to the heavier, weightier, more tannic wines, but I always find myself upgrading my opinion of Fonseca after it has had 7-10 years of age. The 1983 is magnificently scented, full-bodied, creamy, showing great length and character.

2016 Taylor's

Add to Wishlist

Taylor Fladgate, For laying down,

There is an inviting freshness on the nose of 2016 Taylor’s which bodes for an elegant style of Vintage Port. There is no lack of fruit, however, on the palate, which brims with sweet, ripe blackberries and a gentle hint of lavender. There are herbal notes here too, mixing with the floral, all balanced beautifully with a very fine, bright citrussy acidity and a lovely touch of pink grapefruit. The sophistication of this wine is underpinned by earthy, grainy tannins and a harmonious finish that just goes on and on. Very impressive indeed. Drink 2030-2050+. Catriona Felstead MW, Buyer

2000 Taylor's, Port, Portugal

Add to Wishlist

Taylor Fladgate, For laying down,

Taylor's is one of the most well known of all Port brands. The first Taylor joined in 1816, followed later by a Fladgate and a Yeatman. Taylor’s is the only Port shipper to remain completely independent throughout its history. British ownership continues to this day. The wines are typically closed and austere when young; it is only with adequate ageing that they loosen up and offer their subliminal qualities. They are worth waiting for, though.

With a beautiful, rich and complex nose, on the palate this is quite dry. There is a serious juxtaposition of the ripe and dried fruits with expansive tannins. This has challenging, layered flavours and the promise of longevity. Very expressive and powerful Port.

2003 Taylor's, Port, Portugal

Add to Wishlist

Taylor Fladgate, For laying down,

When tasting the 2003s for the first time, we kept going back to this wine, as we so often do with Taylor which is surely the most cerebral and complex of all the Vintage Ports. Effortlessly eschewing the excesses of the vintage, 2003 Taylor's Vintage is superb. Dense and inky, with a nose of woodsmoke, cassis, leather and meat, it is richly textured, firmly tannic, with peppery grip and a long, rewarding finish. This is, without doubt, a Vintage Port of the highest quality.

Graham, For laying down,

The 2016 is by no means a shrinking violet, yet shows a reassured and restrained class – and, above all, finesse and elegance. The wine has a luxurious texture, a light sweetness, an array of delicious fruit flavours which finishes with a savoury touch. This is a keeper, and a tour de force from one of Vintage Port’s greatest houses. Drink 2028-60. Tom Cave, Cellar Plan Manager

1992 Fonseca

Add to Wishlist

Fonseca, Ready, but will improve,

Fonseca is, in fact, a partner to its rival, Taylor's though the two brands have kept their separate identities. Long-lived, the vintage wines are renowned for their quality and intensity of fruit, sheer opulence, structure and balance to last for decades. Fonseca is without doubt a top name and one that everyone should aspire to try.

A seductive and powerful nose of damsons, cherries, and blackcurrants leads on to a lusciously sweet palate displaying creamy black fruits with hints of caramel.

Dow, For laying down,

This has a superb nose of rich, ripe berry fruit with the typical slightly austere and firm reserve of Dow. Analytically drier than usual, it is still blessed with dense fruit on the palate, a magnificent structure, weight and impressively long finish. On this showing, Dow is a strong candidate for wine of the vintage.

Warre, Ready, but will improve,

Some in the old guard might call it infanticide, but this is still youthful and drink rather well now. Aside from its luscious sweetness, concentrated black and red berried fruit, liquorice and herbal notes, this wine is all about texture, body, and layered complexity. Perfect with Christmas pudding, a multitude of cheeses, various cakes or alone…just the two of you.
Demetri Walters MW - Wine Buyer

Very concentrated on the palate, full bodied with layers of plum and black fruits. I would drink it now or hold onto it for another decade, if you can.

Add to Wishlist

Fonseca, Ready, but will keep,

When last tasted in late 2010, the Fonseca 1985 was going through a particularly pleasing phase, indicative perhaps of the overall quality and perhaps somewhat under-rated capacity for longevity of this vintage.The colour is impressive and the rich but elegant fruit character is evidenced, allied, of course, to a leathery spicy gravitas that has evolved through the gentle and suitably sheltered temporal vista of bottle ageing.

2003 Fonseca

Add to Wishlist

Fonseca, For laying down,

The 2003 Fonseca has a rich, well-defined bouquet of black cherries, aniseed, kirsch and dark chocolate that is heady and seductive. The palate is full-bodied with sweet ripe fig and mulberry notes forming the entry. There is fatness here, a viscosity that coats the mouth, although fortunately there is acidity to keep everything in balance. Warm on the finish, a hint of eau-de-vie lingers after the Port has departed. This is a harlot of a Port, but there is nothing wrong with that once in a while – just not every year! Anticipated maturity: 2035-2060. Tasted May 2013.
Neal Martin - eRobertParker.com #207 Jun 2013

Sporting an opaque, black-colored robe with dark purple trim, the 2003 Fonseca Vintage Port exhibits a nose of profound depth. Its sweet black mass of dark fruit and spice aromas leads to a character of immense depth, richness, and weight. Full-bodied, viscous, and almost impenetrable, this dense, backward port is powerful and exceptionally long in the finish. Possibly the most masculine Fonseca I’ve ever encountered, it coats the taster’s palate with licorice, jammy black fruits, and notes of chocolate that last for over a minute. This blockbuster will require at least three decades to fully blossom.

A very muscular, powerful and age-worthy Vintage. Exceptional balance and structure, intensely aromatic and full-bodied on the palate with an explosion of luscious black fruit flavours ending with hints of spice and mint. In blind tastings, the Graham’s 1983 invariably outperforms the competition. 1983 Graham revealed an aged character of coffee and even toffee notes.

2011 Taylor's, Port, Portugal

Add to Wishlist

Taylor Fladgate, For laying down,

Taylor is made from a blend of Quintas Vargellas and Terra Feita with a little addition from Quinta do Junco. It is often the most intellectually satisfying of all of the Vintage Ports and one with the greatest ageing potential. Winemaker David Guimaraens underlines the significance in the rainfall from the previous winter which helped to ensure even ripening, the lack of sunburnt fruit and the inherent integrity of the wine. It has inner strength and stamina, says Managing Director Adrian Bridge, qualities which he particularly values.

Seldom, indeed, has the youthful Taylor declaimed so eloquently at such a young age. Forest floor scents, with notes of peat and herbs provide a worthy overture to the symphonic structure to come. The palate is complete and powerful, with taut acidity, youthful energy and layered complexity all confirming the quality of wine and vintage alike.
Simon Field MW, Port Buyer

Dark, inky in colour it is immediately obvious that this is a serious glass of Port. On the nose the dark fruits and cassis intermingle with floral notes, particularly violets – something that I normally associate with Fonseca, but it is very welcome here. The palate is rich and full, mouth-coating with blackcurrant, liquorice and spice. It has a big backbone to it and is taut with a real freshness. This is a stunning Vintage Port and one which will, I suspect, age for a very long time indeed.

1985 Warre's, Port, Portugal

Add to Wishlist

Warre, Ready, but will keep,

Warre's is the oldest, continuously British-owned brand, as well as one of the most distinguished. It currently thrives under the ownership of the Symington family. The structure, style and superb quality of Warre’s Ports are defined by its vineyards. In more recent years, the brand has caught up with Dow (they are both owned by the Symington family); and, while Dow's is a firmer-styled wine, Warre's has a distinctive character that leans towards perfectly balanced, elegant wines, which often reveal astonishing qualities on the nose.

Typically for Warre, this is a big, powerful wine, packed with lots of deep concentrated fruit, wrapped in a rich, rounded tannic structure.

Taylor Fladgate, Ready, but will keep,

As always, Taylor's 1985 is among the very best wines of the vintage, with a complex, dense palate which is still evolving and will continue to develop for a further 5 to 20 years. This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades.

1977 Dow's Vintage Port

Add to Wishlist

Dow, Ready, but will keep,

The 77s are starting to come round now, their evolution of late a little more rapid than some may have predicted a decade ago, but still very fine wines. Dow, of course, the most puritanical and upstanding of the Symington Houses, always produces a wine worthy of long cellaring and rigorous intellectual scrutiny on opening. I suspect the 77 will not disappoint; the tannins have softened with great dignity and the fruit is still wonderfully present and perfectly balanced within the ensemble.
