• 1991 Fonseca Porto Guimaraens Vintage 90 Points

  Portugal, Douro, Porto

  Cloudy amber-brown in color, showing clear signs of maturity. The nose is complex, with layers of old wood, oxidation, and a mix of Christmas spices, milk chocolate, and subtle herbal tones. Light acidity adds some lift to the structure, though the wine has a dense, mouth-coating texture. The palate is both rich and delicate, with a soft, aged character. The finish fades gently giving this a slightly tired ending.

• 1996 J.H. Andresen Porto Vintage 92 Points

  Portugal, Douro, Porto

  Deep, dark purple with slight transparency at the rim. The nose is packed with crushed black fruits and ripe dark cherries, accented by a touch of chocolate. The palate is beautifully balanced, with ripe tannins that integrate seamlessly into the structure. A plush, velvety mouthfeel slides into a smooth, almost "slurpy" character, making it exceptionally easy to drink. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering dark fruit and chocolate notes.

• 2000 Graham Porto Vintage

  Portugal, Douro, Porto

  Nearly opaque, deep purple in color, with vibrant aromatics of dark berries, subtle spice, and hints of dried herbs and floral notes. The palate is structured and well-balanced, delivering concentrated dark fruit flavors with firm but integrated tannins. There’s a refined backbone of acidity that carries the richness through to a long, polished finish. Still youthful, with plenty of life ahead.

  Bottled in 2007. Deep mahogany with caramel highlights. The nose is wonderfully mature, offering dark caramel, old polished wood, toasted nuts, and a dusting of cinnamon.
