Neal Martin (Wine Advocate) + 2011 scores + Zachy's Offer

Post by Roy Hersh »

Wine Advocate Weighed In On
2011 Port Last Night!!!
For a few weeks now Zachys has been hyping the most recent vintage to receive the official declaration: 2011



James Suckling has been singing the praises of this soon-to-be-released vintage and now Neil Martin of The Wine Advocate has checked in:



"A Declaration, A Promise: 2011 Vintage Port - …stylistically the 2011s are a "classic," "masculine," relatively structured set of Ports that are built for the long term. But for reasons I will outline, whereas in the past it was necessary to wait not years but decades for Port to reach a plateau of maturity, many 2011s will be enjoyable in their youth. And perhaps it is here that Port might be making inroads into the younger generation, which is crucial for long-term sustainability and provides a foundation for future connoisseurs..." WA 5/28/13.



There is a LOT to be excited about with this vintage and with highlighted Port Houses receiving reviews like this...



2011 Port:

Croft Port (92-95WA) - $72.00

Dows Vintage Port (96-98WA) - $76.51

Fonseca Vintage Port (97-99WA) - $92.00

Grahams Vintage Port (95-97WA) - $83.64

Niepoort Vintage Port (94-96WA) - $88.89

Taylor Fladgate Port (96-98WA) - $92.00

Taylor Fladgate Vargellas Vinha Vehla Vintage Port (96-98WA) - $216.00

Warres Vintage Port (93-95WA) - $71.11



There is reason for GREAT EXCITEMENT!!!



Our 2011 Port offering is growing by the minute and now is the time to lock-in as quantities are super limited as the demand is very high.



Cash in now and you will be thanking us for years to come.



All my best,

Andrew

My fiancée was terrified I was going to try to buy one when I pointed out that there seems to be a substantially smaller price bump on the 6Ls than there is on the 3Ls. I guess that's a purchase you'd probably need to make for your kids or grand kids.

Would you refuse to drink a 6 liter of 1963 today? I think Taylor will be fine, drinking this in her lifetime.

I did a couple of weekends. I said, "I refuse to drink the 6L of 1963 Dow, I refuse!"
