Wine Reviews
Offers alder, green fig, date and rye notes, while singed peanut, salted caramel and hazelnut husk accents emerge through the burnished and lengthy finish. A handsome style.
This red has settled in nicely, offering dark fig and chocolate notes mixed in with hints of baking spices, coffee can bread and licorice root. Delicious. Drink now through 2032.
A very floral nose, showing lots of dried violets and lavender to the sweet blueberries and iodine. Full-bodied and really silky, with an abundance of fine, dusty tannins melting on the palate. Rich, flavorful and a touch open. Approachable fairly early but will age well in the next two to three decades.
Complexity and concentration from this extensively cask-matured, single-harvest port. Old Colheita Tawny in style but still very lively and pure, showing dates, aged leather, papayas, dried citrus and walnuts. Sleek, full-bodied and extremely flavorful. Intense but harmonious. The finish lasts over a minute, rich with pecans and caramel. Sweet yet nuanced. Enjoyable now, but can hold.
A very deep nose of crushed sweet blackberries, iodine, cocoa and mussel shells with a touch of lavender and violets. Graphite and dark minerals too. Full-bodied, concentrated and tightly wound, with a solid grip from fine, dusty tannins. Long, focused finish. Integrated sweetness, flavor and alcohol. Drinkable now with dark chocolate on the plate, but better after 2032. Will age well in the next few decades. Drink or hold.
