Vintage Port Blend 2003

9.3

375ml. Rich, ripe, plummy and berry ooze fruit still present and accounted for, a little spirity note, and some nice subtle old wood furniture notes. So rich and enveloping on entry, it’s full and quite resolved. Very lengthy. Love this. — 20 days ago

Contacto Monção & Melgaço Alvarinho 2023

9.0

Exclusively from their vineyards in the northern part of Vinho Verde, Monção and Melgaço. I’ve been there! That’s where I accidentally got up two hours early cause my clock switched to Spain time and I thought that meant I'dn need to get up an hour early. Contacto has a little more skin contact than average, turning up with a slight texture and friendly bitter bite. On the nose, it’s fresh lemon zest, wet stone and whetstone, with a bit of white flower. The palate is utterly thirst-quenching, veering into dried apricot territory and a bit of (as I said above) fun bitterness countering the fruit. It all wraps up with a sluice of salinity. Fun, fun, fun! — 2 months ago
