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.
SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 15, 2017 This is warm and lush in feel, and really well-built, with layers of blueberry, açaí berry and plum reduction flavors rolling through, laced with hints of ganache and fruitcake. Lots of graphite-edged grip lines the finish. Best from 2027 through 2040. 4,500 cases made.JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, June 14, 2017 A firm and gutsy Fonseca with medium to full body, chewy and powerful tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Lots of blueberry, blackberry and mineral undertones. Even some slate. Long and powerful. Medium sweetness. Better in 2019.
WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2021 One of the original Late Bottled Vintage brands, this continues to set a fine style. This latest release is full of black fruits that have been softened by extra wood aging. At the same time, the richness of the wine shows strongly and emphatically, giving a Port that has density and ready drinkability.
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.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Dec 2016 The NV 20 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in 2016 with a bar-top cork and 132 grams per liter of residual sugar. Gloriously fresh and completely alive, this adds an extra layer of depth and concentration of flavor to the 10 Year Old, of course, but that’s not the main attraction here. This has all of Noval’s typical grace and elegance while the complexity level is nicely above average. Then, its bright demeanor makes its fruit lifted and drives the medley of flavors home. It persists nicely, becoming something to contemplate as well as enjoy. This is a bit on the pricey side for a 20, at least judging from the list price, but it was also one of my favorites here. I don’t want to be a broken record, but remember that aged tawnies should be drunk a bit cool. This was brilliant around 58–60 degrees Fahrenheit, boring around 72.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2011 An elegant, delicate Tawny, with a full raft of dried white fruit, toffee, cream and butter flavors. The bright finish offers pear tart and spice notes, with suave, smoky overtones. Drink now.WS9292 pts. - Wine & Spirits - December 1, 2014 Notes of pie crust, cinnamon and sugar place this at the table in lieu of dessert. It’s a warming wine, both brisk and rich in its spice-cake flavors, sunny, schisty and taut.WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 8/1/2006 There is plenty going on in Noval’s 20-year-old. It is a dry style, but the generous fruit combines marmalade and fresh citrus flavors, along with powerful ripeness. Acidity is there too, giving a lift at the end.
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.
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.
