  2003 Vintage Port, Smith Woodhouse

  £5500

  Smith Woodhouse is part of the Symington family of ports (Grahams, Warres etc) and is an under the radar Port house that doesn’t really get the attention that its Vintage ports deserve.

  This glorious 2003 vintage port delivers huge concentration and power. In the glass, it has an alluring nose of tobacco, smoke, and black fruits.   This is a very fruit-forward port with lots of red berries, cherries and soft spices and a long finish.  The ripe tannic back-drop along with an imperious finish means that this port will reign for a long time.  Grown-up vintage port.  Try this with a strong hard cheese.

  1998 Colheita Port, Barros

  £6800

  Having celebrated their 100th year of trading in 2013, Barros Port is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious companies producing and trading in Port. Much of their success comes from Colheita Ports – old Tawnies from a single year matured in cask for a minimum period of seven years. Their expertise in Colheita Ports has established them as the stand out producer of this style. Barros leaves their Colheita Ports to mature in cask until being hand bottled to order. The loss of wine from evaporation (known as the ‘Angel’s Share’) is much higher in comparison to bottle ageing. It is a sacrifice they are willing to make and one that helps them achieve unsurpassed quality in their Colheita wines.

  This 1998 Colheita is exceptional.  In the glass, it has bright brown-tawny colour with slight reflexes of red. The wine reveals a rich and elegant nose, combining the dried fruits aromas with the aromatic wood notes. Soft and silky in the taste, full of ripe figs and sweet flavours. A sensation of depth, in an elegant and distinctive style.  Exceptional.
