Fonseca

Finest Vintage Port Blend 1977

[9 hour decant] Stunning vintage port, great aromatics, very fine color, super nice balance between fruit and spirits, super long, lingering finish, great wine to celebrate having hot water again in our house (7 days to locate and have a new water heater installed), pretty much a PERFECT bottle of vintage port!! — a month ago

One of the best ports of the 20th Century.

Gran Vino Pazo Barrantes Rías Baixas Albariño 2020

Somewhat rounder and not quite as dry as some other albarinos out there. Very pleasant balance between fruit, acidity, alcohol and small remaining hints of sugar. — 16 days ago

Consistently great wine. Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, dark berry, dark cherry, currants, cinnamon and spice, dark chocolate and smoked oak. On the palate, rich and full bodied, jammy fruits, dark berries and cherry, dark chocolate, hints of cinnamon, balsamic and espresso, smokiness/smoked oak. Long finish with hints of smoked citrus rind. Nice, chewy tannins. — a month ago

Vintage Port Blend 2007

Given my "too early" assessment in 2021, I decanted this bottle 6 hours in advance. Beautiful nose of purple fruit / violets. Early drinking window. Good balance. Not spectacular but solid. For my palate this will be the best in the coming 5-10 years when the fruit is still notably present. — a month ago
