The 1979 Colheita Tawny Port is an equal blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca bottled in May of 2019 with 134 grams of residual sugar and a bar-top cork. Lovely, this has a remarkably fresh feel for what amounts to a 40...
Another stunner. Light brown and red in the glass, this Port has a gentle nose but a bold, complex palate showing deep, integrated notes of caramel, toffee, pecan, a touch of coffee, and a light herbal character. It also has a wonderful mouthfeel, blending medium sweetness and high acidity with a long finish. A

That’s a 19 year old white Port, which is a much different experience than the typical white Port. Bright notes of honey, peaches, and apricots are countered by a healthy slug of oxidation, light wine vinegar, and pressed ginger. There’s a touch of milk chocolate somewhere in the middle, but the finish is sharp and bracing, with a little saline in the mix. It drinks closer to a Sauternes than a young white Port, which makes things all the more intriguing. Definitely worth visiting. A-
