Port wines are heavy, rich wines that are typically classified as dessert or after-dinner wines. Port hails from the city of Oporto, in Portugal, and is fortified with high-proof brandy called aguardente. As a result of its fortification, many Port wine brands can age for a very long time and increase in value and distinction with age.
The two main types of Port wine, Ruby and Tawny, are identifiable by their color and their taste profile: ruby port is not aged in wood and as such displays a bright reddish purple color and notes of fruit and spice; tawny port, aged in wood barrels, is darker in color and presents flavors of raisin, nut, and baking spices.
Port’s nutty, fruity and spicy flavors pair well with pies, tarts, or any sweet or semi-sweet desserts. Another good match for Port wines is a fruit or cheese tray that will show off the best elements of the wine’s delicate flavor notes.
ST8989 pts. - Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - Sep/Oct 2007 Pinkish amber. Spicy redcurrant and toffee aromas are complicated by orange peel, molasses and fresh rose. A delicate and nicely focused tawny with toffeed apple and pear flavors and an exotic blood orange quality emerging on the back. This rather understated port shows good finishing lift and a lingering salted caramel character.SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2011 Sweet and silky, balancing its roasted hazelnut, coffee and bitter chocolate flavors with a thread of cherry. The finish lingers gently. Drink now. 7,300 cases made.WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/15/2007 This widely available, bargain-priced tawny remains an Australian classic, offering toffee and walnut aromas and flavors along with dust-covered leather and just a hint of fresh fruit. It’s lighter in weight than you might expect from a Port-inspired New World wine, but offers a tasty drop on a wintry evening. Imported by Pacific Wine Partners.
SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jan 31, 2002 Amber in color, sweet but nut unctuous, this has vibrant almond, apricot and spice aromas and flavors, and echoes rich notes of cherry and orange peel as well. Drink now.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2016 The NV Museum Reserve Antique Tawny is pale amber/tawny in color and seriously nutty with a walnut and Christmas cake-laced nose; spirituous notes of brandy waft alongside caramel, treacle and earth. Rich, concentrated and with good length, this wine is sweet and packed with flavor.WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 2/1/2011 A pale tawny in color, this complex sweet wine features note of honey, fig and citrus. It’s silky in texture, even if the alcohol does show through a bit on the finish.
WE8686 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2006 A solid value in ruby Port, Sandeman’s bottling pairs dried fruits with leathery notes to offer more than simple, grapy fruit. Finishes with fresh, spicy notes. Imported by Pernod Ricard.
WE9494 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 1/1/2020 This is a beautifully concentrated wine. Rich and dense, it offers dried fruits, spice and intensity. The wine’s spirit edge acts as a lift, bringing out acidity, honey, walnuts and a complex perfumed aftertaste. Drink now.SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2018 Pretty, with bergamot, date, fig and caramelized peach flavors gliding through, framed by a caramel note that lingers on the polished finish. This gains intensity as it opens in the glass. Lovely. Drink now. 780 cases made, 300 cases imported.
SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2016 Broad, rich and elegant, with creamy, supple flavors of butterscotch, toasted coconut and hazelnut. The luscious finish is loaded with spice and cocoa details. Seductive. Drink now. 4,000 cases imported.WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/15/2008 An elegant tawny, perfumed with soft tannins and a good edge of wood acidity and spirit. The wine is dry, densely flavored, tasting mature, showing a good balance between young sweetness and age, with everything well integrated.RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Dec 2018 The NV 20 Years Old Tawny Porto is a typical Douro blend sourced from juice ranging from 15 to 30 years old. It was bottled in September 2018 with a Vinolok cork and 115 grams per liter of residual sugar. This adds a little power and notable complexity to the 10 Year this issue, but it seems a little understated in concentration and surprisingly mature. The brandy is a bit prominent, but that improves. Its bright and gentle demeanor won’t leave you with a “wow” impression, but it sneaks up on you and it’s easy to like eventually. It showed better a few days later, at which point it was notably improved. Maybe some bottle shock plus travel shock before it was tasted rendered it a little closed at first. It finishes with classic flavors laced with caramel nuances. There were 60,000 bottles produced.WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - April 1, 2006 Flavors of salted caramel and orange peel give this tawny complexity. It’s warm with more citrus fruit coming up in the end. For fresh roasted almonds.
SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2018 Easygoing, with cherry compote, cinnamon and fruitcake notes. Shows a light blip of heat on the finish. Drink now. 33,800 cases made.WE8686 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2010 The wine is soft, ripe, with a touch of maturity followed by good, tight wood tannins. The wine has a ripe character, quite full with hints of the wood aging as well as mature fruit.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 26th Feb 2014 The non-vintage Otima 10-Year Old Tawny Port reveals a medium ruby/amber/garnet color, loads of kirsch and cedar intermixed with a touch of brown sugar in the nose, rich, full-bodied flavors, a burgeoning complexity and big aromatics. This is a full-bodied, silky smooth Tawny Port that should age easily for 8–10+ years.WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 2/1/2009 An aged tawny that manages effortlessly to combine the freshness of a 10-year-old with the dry, cask-aged flavors of an older tawny. It has dried apricot flavors and orange marmalade, but there is also dryness from wood aging and good concentration.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2017 There’s good intensity here, with a racy hazelnut edge alongside the core of singed walnut, sesame, toffee and cinnamon notes. Offers a focused, dry edge through the finish. Drink now. 13,400 cases imported.
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2019 This is a wonderful wood-aged, mature Port full of the classic old gold flavors and intense acidity over a dry texture that is a signature of this producer. The wine is impressive, balanced and ready to drink.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 30, 2019 A juicy, up-front style, with hazelnut, raisin, cinnamon and dried cherry notes that are flattering through the gently sweet finish. Drink now. 4,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Apr 2019 The NV 20 Year Old Tawny Port is a field blend coming in with 126 grams of residual sugar and a bar-top cork. It was bottled in 2018. Dry and stern — this is the style you’d expect from the comments in the accompanying producer note — this shows off some wood, plus very fine concentration and power for the level. This is not always an open and friendly 20, though. The 30, actually, seems far livelier and more expressive (although woodier and more mature, to be sure). This 20 is one that intends to grab your palate and not let go. Some sweetness and a touch of spice around the edges redeem it. That counters the power and woody demeanor. It drank particularly well a couple of days later. On many levels, this is impressive for its age. It works well overall in its style.WS9191 pts. - Wine & Spirits - October 1, 2004 Have a cigar. It’s the right match for this very British, old-school Port. The warm, peppery alcohol seems to ask for it, while the orange zest and walnut flavors will taste refreshing aginst the tobacco smoke. This has a clarity and crispness to keep its fat texture buttoned up.ST9090 pts. - Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - Mar/Apr 1998 Complex aromas of toffee, roasted nuts, lead pencil, orange peel and caraway seed. Intensely flavored fruit is silky but nicely delineated; offers a fresh flavor of orange peel. Not at all thick, but brisk and vibrant. Finishes clean and long, with hints of smoked nuts and marzipan. This has far stronger material than the 10-Year-Old, which seemed clumsy and dull in comparison.
SP9595 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2018 Broad in feel and dark in profile, with walnut and hazelnut notes followed by flavors of brown bread, dried fig, bitter orange, singed almond and juniper. A lovely flash of green tea adds sparkle and detail on the finish, but this stays reliant on its bass line throughout. Drink now. 1,200 cases made.WE9595 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2007 Remarkably, this is able to show age and long cask aging, but the flavor is still here: figs and honey, balanced out with burnt caramel aged acidity and a rich (but not sweet) finish. Excellent, top quality aged tawny.WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/21 Fully mature, the 30-year blend offers cool spicy satisfaction. Its flavors taste of a range of fruits in marmalade, from candied orange zest to kumquats with their peels. Toasty and bright, apricot-rich, this wine’s bittersweet finish will match a savory almont tart.
SP9898 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 31, 2018 This is distinctive from the start, with a youthfully rambunctious display of dark currant, fig and blackberry fruit paste flavors liberally spiked with bramble, Turkish coffee and ganache notes. As the fruit pumps through the finish, a tarry spine adds a bristling, mouthwatering edge. Sports more obvious grip and is a touch drier in style than most of its peers. Best from 2035 through 2055. 6,000 cases made.RP9797 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 19th Jul 2018 The 2016 Vintage Port is a field blend, mostly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão and Sousão, aged for 18 months in old wood. It comes in with 82 grams of residual sugar. This was in bottle for only about seven weeks when seen, but I made sure at least some of it had a lot of air. It looks super, with plenty of room to grow in the cellar. Christian Seely likes to say that this regular Noval and the Nacional are not better than one another, just different. In fact, I usually prefer Nacional, but in this vintage I make a case for equality and endorse that view.VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2018 The 2016 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is a blend of Touriga Naçional, Touriga Franc, Tinta Cão and Sousão, all foot-trodden and aged in wooden casks for 18 months. It has a voluminous, warm and inviting bouquet that positively “bulges” with damson, bilberry, crushed violets and blackcurrants, all beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a feisty, spicy opening: black fruit laced with cracked black pepper, clove, cardamom and a pinch of sea salt. Whilst the aromatics have all the “fun”, the palate is more “serious”, as if compensating for the nose with a sense of reserve and restraint. Together they make for a fascinating, quite mercurial Quinta do Noval that should age gloriously over the next 30 years.WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2018 Very ripe fruit give this wine a surprisingly soft texture. It has generous tannins to go with this opulent fruitiness. The wine is going to age relatively quickly, so drink from 2026.
