Red - Fortified
1983 Cockburn Porto Vintage Portugal, Douro, Porto
93 points
If you get a good bottle of this Port, it is one of the best of the Vintage. However, this Port has a history of TCA, which usually increases as the wine gets more exposure to air, so it was only splash decanted just prior to consumption. Dark amber in color. Raspberry, cinnamon, and red currant on the nose. Rich mouthfeel with red fruit and chocolate, and a light touch of spirit. Nice long finish.
Red - Fortified
1995 Quinta do Infantado Porto Vintage Portugal, Douro, Porto

Dark amber in color. Dark fruit on the nose with some herbal notes underneath. Very smooth flavor profile with well-balanced red fruit on the long finish.
Red - Fortified
1999 Quinta do Portal Porto Vintage Portugal, Douro, Porto
90 points
Slightly funky nose. Medium dark-amber in color. Nice red fruit profile, with only a small fraction of the funky nose appearing on the palate. Some umami and mocha notes. Very slurpable with rich palate and nice tannins on the long finish.
White - Fortified

The Casa do Douro was a Federation of Douro grape growers created in 1932. Bottled in 2003. Orange-brown in color. Wonderful caramel square candy on the nose. Medium bodied with expansive caramel and maple syrup notes. Belgian waffle and butterscotch on the long finish.

Dark amber-brown with pale yellow on the rim. Light notes of old wood and a touch of vanilla on the nose. Rich butterscotch and some caramelized sugar on the palate. Amazing balance and acidity and a great, long finish.
