Fonseca Guimaerens Vintage Port 2015
Country, Fortified Wine, Grape Variety, Port, Portugal, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Cao, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional
Opaque purple-black at the centre with a very thin, purple edge. A classic Fonseca nose redolent of heady, woodland fruit, powerful but also very fine and complex. The dense blackberry and blackcurrant aromas form the backdrop for a display of fresh, minty, balsamic scents and resiny notes of gumcistus and wild herbs. Discreet hints of exotic wood, liquorice and black pepper provide an additional dimension of complexity.
The thick, tightly-woven tannins provide both firmness and volume to the palate which is built around a core of dense, dark berry fruit. Plummy, raspberry flavours emerge on the long, luscious finish, giving it an attractive crispness and lift. Fonseca's 200th anniversary year has produced an exceptional Guimaraens Vintage Port, expressive and approachable but with the stamina to improve over many years in the cellar.

Taylors Classic Vintage Port 2016
Country, Fortified Wine, Grape Variety, Port, Portugal, Red Grapes, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Cao, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional
Deep purple black with a narrow magenta rim. High notes of pure, intense woodland fruit with lively accents of green apple, fresh plum and raspberry. Around this core of bright, singing fruit is a heady aura of gumcistus and wild herbs. On a deeper register, exotic notes of cedarwood and jasmine provide an additional dimension of complexity. The wine has an attractive leanness and muscularity with sinewy, linear tannins that integrate seamlessly into the mid palate and then re-emerge to hold the wine in a confident grip. Energised by a racy acidity, the intense berry flavours continue to build into the long finish. Although the keynotes are refinement and poise, the wine displays the restrained vigour and stamina that are the hallmarks of the Taylor style.

Quinta de la Rosa Colheita 2009 Port
Country, Fortified Wine, Grape Variety, Port, Portugal, Red Grapes, Sousão, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Cao, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional
This Colheita is rather unusual – at one level there is plenty of young, mature fruit (black plums) and at the other, there are a more tertiary, complex flavours associated with dry fruits and spice. On tasting, at the beginning, the wine is vigorous and full of flavour getting more complex on the palate and ending with a mixture of fresh fruit, nuts, dried apricot and spice. The finish is very elegant and long. This Colheita successfully marries two worlds – the energy and opulence of fruit from Ruby ports and the elegance and complexity of Tawnies.

Taylor’s Very Old Single Harvest 1966
Country, Fortified Wine, Grape Variety, Port, Portugal, Red Grapes, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Cao, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional
During its five decades of ageing in oak casks, this wine has taken on an attractive pale mahogany colour with olive amber highlights. On the nose the wine displays fine oaky aromas and complex spicy, nutty, cigar box notes against a warm mellow background of butterscotch and molasses. The smooth velvety palate is lifted by a crisp acidity which gives the wine an attractive freshness in spite of its age. The finish is immensely long with rich, spicy, black pepper flavours lingering on the palate.

Fonseca Terra Prima
Country, Fortified Wine, Grape Variety, Port, Portugal, Red Grapes, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Cao, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional
Silky-smooth aromas of crushed red berry fruits and chocolate with little herbal nuances. On the palate that herbal quality is still there but some pure, velvety, cherry and plum fruit fills in nicely, the subtle sweetness developing but staying balanced by a certain acidity and a fairly nimble, lighter-bodied character. A spicy finish too in a style that is not heavy and very sippable. 89/100 Tom Cannavan, www.wine-pages.com
