Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

A satiny Vintage Port crafted from old vine grapes grown in schist soil. Opaque dark purple, with a nose giving concentrated ripe blackberries and hints of sweet pipe tobacco and licorice. The palate shows abundant ripe dark berry flavours and a very silky, unctuous mouthfeel with polished, elegant tannins. Lingering ripe berry finish. This Port was aged for 2 years in Portuguese oak and bottled wthout fining. Made using the traditional lagares (stone tanks) and foot-trodden grapes. The result is heavenly! Drink as a dessert wine, or pair with creamy blue cheese such as Gorgonzola, with fois gras or nuts. This would also make a terrific gift during the upcoming holiday season.
Tasted Nov. 2020.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
