Late Bottled Vintage Porto Port Blend 2019

Big, rich, ripe LBV with awesome fruit and structure, lacks the subtlety of the 1977 Graham’s vintage, but a great LBV as a sipper!! — 6 days ago

So, @Somm David T, thank you for the advice — we last visited Taylor-Fladgate in February of 2019, got a few nice pictures of the male peacock with the incredible plumage, but knew nothing about the Scion. If/when we go back to Porto, I will ask next time (can I use your name so they don’t think I’m just another American idiot/loser??) — sounds incredible, though, thanks!!

@Somm David T, also, we’ll be opening a 1977 Taylor Vintage Porto soon as well, I’ll report here how it was (purchased back in the early 1980s, with my other 1977s)!! Cheers!!

No name needed. Just ask for it. They make quite the presentation serving it. I’ll look for your note on the 77. Cheers. .

Finest Vintage Port Blend 1977

Lovely vintage Porto, dark fruits, solid balance, starting to show its age, long, lingering finish, only quibble is that this doesn’t show the characteristic sweeter style (thus my comment on its age, starting to dry out just a tad). — 10 days ago

Light and slightly effervescent as it should be for a “green” wine. Best for a light fish lunch. — 17 days ago

Vintage Port Blend 1977

Doug Powers
9.3

[8 hour decant] This is from a very fine lot of 1977 Graham’s I purchased in the mid-to-late 1990s from a small Napa importer, and is at the level of the 1977 Fonseca we drank last week, sweet, nice weight and balance, long, lingering finish, very nice!! — 6 days ago

Vinho Verde White Blend

A fresh, semi sweet wine ideal for summer! Mild acidity with hints of pear and green apple. Pairs very well with crackers, sharp cheddar cheese and grapes. It is a very good wine for the low pricepoint and fun to enjoy while snacking outdoors.  — 9 days ago

First Vinho Verde! Super light, crisp notes of lime, green apple, and florals. Slight fizz from a secondary fermentation. — 2 months ago
