NV Fine Ruby
WADA rated 78pts
See-thru crimson red. Spiced cake…make that very spiced cake. Some graphite. Mildly sweet and spiced.
NV Six Grapes
WADA rated 81+pts
Opaque purple. Nail varnish and stemmy. Spice cake at first then became much sweeter with ripe black berry and cherry pie baked with honey glaze.
The Tawny
WADA rated 80+pts
Cognac coloured. Extremely brandy like. This feels like being in the head partner’s office that has been decorated with polished mahogany and teakwood furnishings. Sweet dried raisins that has been liquidied and honeyfied. Yet…it is still simple.
1998 Vintage Malvedos
WADA rated 81+pts
Dark purple. A regal concoction of dark polished sweet black fruits and sultanas accentuated by tobacco smoke. Honeyed, dark and raisiny.
2003 Vintage
WADA rated 83+pts
Dark purple. Dark forest, black peppers and sultanas punctuate a relatively opulent but more feminine nose than the 98. Ripe and sweet black fruits swashed about by thick chocolate mocca.
1983 Vintage
WADA rated 86pts
Bronzed red. Stately prunes resonate with hints of nail varnish. Three Bs summarize this port – Big, Brilliant and Black. The oldest of the lot tasted yet preserving much of its freshness.
