Burge (Old Barossa Tawny Port) 500ml |
$129.99
|
| "The Tawny¡¯s deep amber color is accompanied by a full-bodied, scorched earth, coffee, chocolate, balsamic, and honeyed complexity, great texture, and tremendous vinosity. It will keep in the bottle 5-10 days after being opened; unopened it will keep indefinitely. Until 3-4 decades ago, many Australian wineries were better known for their fortified than dry table wines. For whatever reason, many of these fortifieds fell out of favor in Australia, and have never received the respect they deserve given how spectacular many can be. Rick Burge¡¯s ancestors always made fortified wines, and kept the soleras active during their lifetimes. After many years, Rick Burge decided to begin bottling some of these old fortified wines. There are five different offerings, all of them stunningly rich and intense. I suspect most of them are extremely old, although no records were kept, so it is impossible to know the average age of the solera for each of these cuvees. No one will be disappointed in these spectacular non-vintage fortifieds."(Robert Parker 97 points) |

Churchill's (2000 Vintage Port) |
$179.99
|
| "Complex aromas of lead pencil shavings, blueberries, creme de cassis, and licorice emerge from this dense ruby/purple-colored 2000. Full body, sweet tannin (which provides definition), and outstanding concentration result in a seriously-endowed, finely-crafted vintage port with well-integrated tannin, acidity, and alcohol. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025."(Robert Parker 91 points) |

| "A fabulous nose of cassis and berries, with hints of licorice. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, with supersexy tannins and a long, long finish. Very classy. Superb for Delaforce. Best after 2012. 4,500 cases made. –JS" (Wine Spectator-Score: 95) |
