Natalie's Score: 96/100

Wow! Love this lovely, rich vintage port seductive with aromas and concentrated flavours of dried blue florals, blackberries, dark cherry, raisin and figgy fruit wrapped up in butterscotch and velvety on the palate. Unfiltered and aged two years in wooden vats prior to being bottled, good now, but it will continue to evolve in bottle for the next 20-plus years. Pour with blue-veined creamy cheeses or brownies, or whatever your pleasure ;)

Port food pairings: blue-veined cheeses, dark chocolate studded with dried cherry, red berry fruit, brownies.

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.
