Douro Valley
Quinta Do Vale Meao 2018 Douro
Deeply coloured and concentrated, with a layered aroma that unfolds without any single note dominating. The palate is vibrant and expansive, balancing ripe tannins, polished oak and a creamy texture with notable poise. Power builds through the centre yet never obscures the wine's elegance. The finish is very long and composed, carrying integrated wood, dark-toned depth and steady freshness.

The palate is medium-bodied and sweet, its resolved tannins carrying toffee, berry and a touch of cold tea. Balanced and persistent, it is ready to enjoy after careful decanting.
Croft 1967 Quinta da Roêda Vintage Port 750 mL

The finish is long and persistent, leaving dark fruit and sweet spice in balance.

A softening texture suggests maturity, yet the structure remains clear through a long, expressive finish.
Messias Quinta do Cachão 1967 Vintage Port 750 mL
Golden-tawny in colour, with developed aromas of dried fruit, hazelnut and warm spice. The palate is intense and complex, yet freshness keeps the mature sweetness from feeling heavy. Smooth tannins give gentle structure while notes of fig, walnut and bottle-aged savouriness unfold through the middle. Delicate and composed, it finishes long with lingering spice and dried-fruit depth.
Messias 1964 Colheita Tawny Port 750 mL
Amber-toned and remarkably fresh, with dried fruit, honey, fig and raisin unfolding alongside balsamic and gently woody notes.

The finish is long and complex, carrying honeyed fruit, seasoned wood and savoury balsamic detail.
Graham’s 1994 Vintage Port 750 mL
Ripe blackberry, plum and cherry open with chocolate, licorice, tobacco and warm spice.

Its sweetness is measured by depth and structure rather than simple weight. The finish is long and composed, lingering on dark fruit, cocoa, spice and a firm, mature persistence.
Warre’s 1977 Vintage Port 1.5 L
Vibrant red fruit and dried raisin lead, with mature mineral tones and a deep, savoury core.

Dark fruit concentration gives the wine breadth while its mineral character keeps the texture focused. The finish is long, structured and composed, retaining depth, energy and the restrained authority of mature vintage Port.
