Stanton and Killeen better known for their Trophy winning fortifieds from Rutherglen. This is a very savoury dry red using the major port grapes of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cao and Touriga Nacional. Earthy, dry red cherries, touch of tar - powdery fine tannins - actually smells like a port without the brandy spirit. My last bottle - see previous Delectable notes.

May 27th, 2023Deep crimson with blue/purple tinges. Aromas of spicy red cherries. Medium weight palate. All the Portuguese red varieties normally used to make Port but making in this case a very savoury dry red

Aug 29th, 2018Aromas of Earth and savoury cherry. A different dry red using all of the traditional Iberian grape varieties to make Port of Tinta Barocca 26%, Touriga Nacional 26%, Tinta Cao 24% and Tinta Roritz 24% in Rutherglen - best known for its outstanding Fortifieds. Has all the flavours of a Dry Port without the added alcohol of the Brandy Spirit. This is 14.1% Alc. One of the more interesting reds of recent times. Medium weight, savoury to the max with a nice acid line.
