Casa Santos Lima Confidencial Reserva Red Lisboa 2016

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:54:33 +0000

This wine’s tart cherry flavors feel cool and oceanic. Some green notes of peppercorn and cherry leaf hold its concentrated flavors tight, embedded in clay-like tannins. What’s confidential about this wine is the blend of more than ten varieties, grown in clay-limestone soils, and the names of ten unfamiliar varieties probably don’t matter when the wine is so fresh and bright. —J.G

Pocas Vintage Port 2016

Densely textured with dusty tannins and full of black-plum skin and prune flavors, this is a ripe complex wine. Its sweeter character does not spoil the great structure and dry core that will allow this exemplary wine to age. Drink from 2029.

Niepoort Bioma Vintage Port 2016

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:44:47 +0000

A concentrated, almost dark purple colour, with aromas of black pepper, spice and dark fruits such as plums and blackberries. Initially the palate is fresh with superb acidity and a wonderful expression of dark fruits, but follows through to a bold tannic mid-palate and finish, the sweetness and fruit very much dominated by tannin on the finish. This is a Port wine suitable for long cellaring. – Winery

Sandeman 40yr Tawny

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:43:10 +0000

Specially selected Portos are chosen for ageing in wooden casks where gradual exposure to air concentrates the flavours and transforms the rich ruby colour to amber, creating the rare and delicious Sandeman Porto Tawny 40 Years Old. The ageing process intensifies the fruit creating the complex flavours characteristic of Tawny Porto. A perfect Porto to end any meal and an inspiration for good conversation. An intense, deeply flavoured Porto Tawny 40 Years Old, with a massive bouquet suggesting vanilla, oak and honey, and a mouthful of very complex flavours of dried fruits, spices, and nuts. As the wine unfolds smoothly and develops in the mouth, one discovers a superb balance of wood ageing and vibrancy, characteristic of Sandeman Tawny Portos. – Winery

TASTING NOTES Color: Medium tawny. Aroma:Combines the fruitiness of young wines with the velvety, woody flavour of the older wines. Palate: Soft, light and well-balanced. Poças Tawny Ports are the result of select lots of wines that have aged for long periods in wood. This ageing produces their golden colour, a smoky aroma and scent of vanilla and a soft, light and balanced flavour. Special Reserve Tawny is obtained from the careful blending of wines from different years aged in oak casks and is noted for its aroma of dried fruit and long and persistent finish. These Ports are perfect complements to cheeses, assorted pastries, desserts made with dried fruits and cream puddings, or just lightly chilled, as an aperitif. – Winery
