Re: 2007 Warre LBV Unfiltered
95% opaque with garnet rim showing its evolution in the bottle. I tried this upon decanting at 12 noon (had fine sediment) and it was very closed, however when I tried it in the evning at our TPF virtual tasting it opened up marvellously. Pronounced intensity aromas and flavours of cranberry, redcur...

Hi everyone, a few months ago Lawrence Francis from Interpreting Wine invited me to talk about port. This talk led to the genesis of a mini port series that goes live this Monday 2nd December. The two first episodes feat Francis and I discussing the various styles of port and tasting the samples. On...

Re: 2017 Vallado
So, from other threads and fellow tasters at TPF it seems this port used to be called Quinta do Vallado Adelaide, however it is recently just called Quinta do Vallado as the term Adelaide is now used for the company's dry wines to avoid confusion, so I'll add my notes here. Beautiful deep aromatic n...

Re: 2017 Crasto
Not as intense as other ports from the vintage but is this a bad thing? Raspberries and violets, I found the alcoholic nose interfered with the bouquet. Finishes medium, so for me 15/20

Re: 2017 Portal
Spice and black fruit, coffee beans and pepper, with medicinal notes and big, grippy tannins. Finishes medium+ and hence did not score this higher. 16/20

Re: 2017 Maynard
Very fruit driven with reed cherry, boiled cherry sweets, confectionery and sweet spice. Finishes long and it is a good port, perhaps for earlier drinking as this is a lighter style, seems to lack certain depth of flavour. 16/20

Re: 2017 Fonseca
Deep purple colour, forest fruit, blackberry and black cherry, blueberry and blossom, cinnamon and mint. Lovely balance between the acid, well-integrated tannins and sweetness. The 2017 Fonseca displays a mouthwatering long peppery and spicy finish. 18/20

Re: 2017 Churchill Quinta da Gricha
Black cherry and pronounced spices. Interesting aromas of fresh coffee beans and smoke. I found some vegetal character there (not offensive but rather strange). On the palate it's big on tannins. Although it has some interesting aromatic characteristics, I felt the alcohol is somewhat unbalanced. Th...

Re: 2017 Graham The Stone Terraces
The 2017 Stone Terraces is fresh and exceptionally aromatic.What a powerhouse of a port! Great depth of aromatics with blueberry compote, black forest fruit, black and red cherry, rock rose and violets, eucalyptus and graphite. This concentration is apparent on the palate too, the tannins are robust...
