A Californian Port made primarily from Tinta Roriz. A blend with an average age of 5 years, this is a younger, fresher style Port on release but matures more quickly giving it a light, prune character with chocolate notes balanced perfectly with fresh, red fruit.

Fernando de Castilla are the top Bodega and this is a delicious, mature Oloroso with rich, oaky, fruit, smokey flavours. Try with nuts or strong cheese.

Outstanding sherry! Delicate aromas of fruit and dried orange peel leading to a powerful, intense palate. 20 years old but still fresh and aromatic.

The best PX we have ever tried! Sherry from a single Solera with an age of 30 years. Bottled unfined or filtered. Sweet and full but balanced with flavours of coffee, prune and chocolate.

A very rare breed! From one of the very finest Bodegas, an antique sherry with the nutty nuances of Amontillado and the rich fruity qualities of Oloroso.

Colheitas are single vintage Tawny Ports aged in cask for many years and the Krohn Colheita 1982 has has 35 years cask aging. Because of this long, slow, oxidative aging, the Port develops a rich and intense toffee, nutty, molasses character.

Full in colour with a richness and big depth of fruit. The tannins are softening, to be sure, but there is still lots of body and power that will allow it to improve for many years.

A fabulous year for vintage Ports and Graham 1983 is a perfect example of this quality. Rich and powerful showing all of Grahams. Drink over the next 10-12 years.

Robert Parker describes this Graham's port as "the undisputed star and kingpin of the 1985 vintage ports" he goes on to say that it is "a fabulous wine because of a dazzling level of black-cherry fruit, an enormous structure, and staggering depth, dimension, and length." This is indeed an exceptional vintage and it is drinking incredibly well now.

Rich, penetrating aromas of currant, fig and violet melt into the full bodied palate, which still has a firm structure despite its age. Rich and beautifully balanced, this port is a delight to drink now but still also has a long life ahead of it.
