For The Love Of Port

Dear Roy When I write "maybe a little too good to be true" I mean that when a port wine is as comfortable and drinkable as this one, it may be a wine that is very early drinkable and not a wine You want to save as it peaks pretty quickly. Normally, we prefer to store wines which matures sl...

Bottled 2017 (Tasted September 2017) The bouquet offers dark syrup, caramel, spicy notes from the cask (vanilla) and a little smoke that blends with a little alcohol. Fat in the mouth. Highly flavorful. Again, syrup and caramel dominate, but also an underlying light bitter orange and great acidity. ...

Bottled 2017 (Tasted November 2017 at the Port Wine Festival at Boersen, Copenhagen Denmark) The bouquet offers a strong scent of dark berries, spices, alchohol and a little smoke. I the mouth good berries, fresh, powerful and with some tannins. The full-bodied wine tastes damn well even though it i...

Bottled 2014 (50 cl) (Tasted June 2014) The bouquet offers nuts, caramel, spicy notes from the wood barrels, weak undertones of pharmacy, a little smoke and a little alcohol. This 40 year old port has a lot of sweetness, but not too much, and the taste includes brown sugar, caramel, apricot and spic...

Bottled 2015 (Tasted April 2017) Complex scent of light bitter orange, nuts, cask notes and a little alchohol. Soft and very comfortable in the mouth. Sweet - but not candy-sweet - with good structure and backbone. Very clean taste, though with a little tightness in the slightly bitter orange flavor...

Bottled 2014 (Tasted September 2016) A little complex sweet smell, with honey, leather, wine cellar, cask notes and a little smoke. In the taste big acidity, a little smoke and spice, nuts and a little honey. Soft, full and comfortable, but with backbone and firmness in the long aftertaste. Clear li...

Bottled 2013 (Tasted November 2015) Complex and a little tight scent. A little liquor, orange juice, caramel, brown sugar, a touch of bitter walnuts, coffee, spices and a little smoke. Fresh and elegant taste with sour orange in spite of the 40 years. Very well-balanced. One of my favorite wines. Ve...

Bottled 2012 (Tasted October 2014)
Not so powerful in the smell, dates and brown sugar. A touch of solvent? Clear wooden notes. Taste of caramel, sweetness and a little apricot.
Round and light in the mouth, but ends up tight. Long aftertaste. Clear light golden brown.
17/20

Bottled 2012 (Tasted November 2014) A little limited in the nose, but almonds and a little smoke. Later a little tightness, and only a little alcohol. Very clean and delicious in the mouth with dark caramel and a little bitter orange. It's a little more rich than Dow's 30 years tawny, but also on th...

Bottled 2010 (Tasted February 2012)
Scent of slightly roasted caramel and brown sugar. In the taste, a lot of sweetness, however, is outweighed by a little tightness in the end. Medium rich. Light golden brown.

Bottled 2010 (Tasted December 2010)
Scent and taste of caramel and brown sugar, spicy notes, a little alcohol. Bold and sweet and typically notes of 10-year storage. Excellent Colheita. Dark golden brown.

Bottled 2014 (Tasted August 2015) Scent of dark caramel, a little brown sugar, spicy notes, a little alcohol and a little orange. Fat in the mouth and more concentrated than Hutcheson usually to be. Strong taste, good sweetness and acid that easily attack the tongue tip. Long aftertaste. A young but...

Bottled 2010 (Tasted March 2013) Scent of candy, brown sugar and a little apricot that goes back to the taste. A clue of smoke. The taste is very cash, rich and clean, with medium sweetness and a touch of sweets. Slight tightness in the slightly dry aftertaste. Very good even though 1990 was not a p...

Bottled 2014 (Tasted May 2015) In the nose some sharp notes (wood), bitter orange, butter, a little coffee and almonds. A little alcohol. In the mouth it is rich, medium strong, with good texture and good sweetness and again a little orange and nuts. Very harmonious, with long solid aftertaste. A ni...

Bottled 2013 (Tasted september 2014) Saturated aroma of a mixture of caramel, brown sugar, a little apricot and coffee, and a slightly spicy fragrance from the cask. In the mouth again you will find brown sugar, apricot and a sugary obesity that spreads comfortably over the tongue. At the end a slig...

Bottled 2013 (Tasted November 2015) A little spicy scent of bitter orange, dark caramel and a touch of pharmacy. A little alcohol. Tight in the good way but also with a little obesity. Well-integrated sweetness and some acid that attacks the tip of the tongue. Staying in the mouth for a long time. D...

Bottled 2013 (Tasted November 2015) Complex spicy scent of dark caramel, nuts and a touch of fig and pharmacy. A little alcohol. With an underlying bitter orange. In the mouth softness and obesity but also a rank and cash firmness that gives the wine character. Acid and sour sweetness are very well ...
