Port
Dow’s 2016 Vintage Port
Black cherry and cassis form a deep, concentrated core, lifted by clove, violet and blood orange. Smoke, tobacco, fig and molasses add savoury complexity as the wine opens. Firm, fine tannins and a bright line of acidity keep the full palate focused and fresh, carrying the dark fruit into a long, driven finish. Best decanted and served with blue cheese.
Messias NV 10-Year-Old Dry White Port
Vanilla and warm spice lead with a floral lift and hints of nutmeg. The palate is dry and golden, combining subtle oak with caramel, dried apricot and lively acidity. Fine wood ageing brings depth without heaviness, carrying honeyed fruit and gentle spice through a long, poised and refreshing finish.
Ramos Pinto NV Adriano White Reserva Port
Pale gold and intensely aromatic, with ripe golden fruit, tropical notes and crystallized orange lifted by gentle spice. Full-bodied and luscious, the palate has mature richness without losing balance. A clean line of freshness gives the generous fruit definition, carrying the wine through a long, polished and quietly complex finish.

Messias 1980 Colheita Port
Pale tawny in colour, with evolved aromas of noble wood, vanilla and a fine, lifted volatile note. Pepper, clove and nutmeg bring warm spice to the mature profile. The palate is powerful yet fresh, its balanced sweetness carried through a long, savoury finish. Serve slightly chilled; decanting is not required. Excellent with crème brûlée, treacle tart or nut-based desserts.

A presentation box containing one half bottle each of 10, 20, 30 & 40 Year Old Tawny. This unique collection demonstrates the evolution of tawny Port as it ages in wood, starting with the round and jammy 10 Year and culminating in the sumptuous 40 Year with its wonderful mellow complexity and concentration.
Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port 1980
Ruby with a mature brick rim, showing red and dark berries, anise, dried cherry and a quiet earthy spice. The palate is leaner and more savoury than opulent, with mellow sweetness, resolved tannins and a clean line of acidity leading to a cherry-stone finish. Graceful and ready to drink, it suits Stilton, aged cheddar or toasted almonds.
Graham’s Vintage Port 1985
Deep at the core with a fine tawny rim, offering ripe plum, dark berries, fig and baking spice over a subtle nutty undertone. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate is remarkably soft, with integrated spirit, mellow tannins and enough freshness to hold the sweetness in balance. Persistent and composed on the finish, it pairs naturally with Stilton or walnut tart.
Fonseca 1985 Vintage Port
Blackberry, blackcurrant and raisin lead an inky, concentrated bouquet, with dark chocolate and a gentle savoury note adding depth. Full-bodied and round, the palate carries abundant fruit over thick, well-integrated tannins. A firm backbone keeps the sweetness composed, while the finish is long and velvety. Decant carefully and serve with Stilton or dark chocolate.
Fonseca Vintage Port 1970
Mature and beautifully poised, with dried plum, caramel and orange peel layered with exotic spice, cocoa and warm red fruit. The palate is sweet but finely tensioned, combining generous fruit with fresh acidity, settled tannins and a gently warming spirit. Long, balanced and savoury on the finish, it is ideal with Stilton, dark chocolate or toasted walnuts.
