Wine
Sao Joao 1997 Porta Dos Cavaleiros Mg
Clear, deep garnet hue. Its aroma is characterized by notes of dried cherries and leather, offering a clean profile. On the palate, it is dry with a medium body and acidity, featuring elegant tannins alongside flavors of stewed fruit and game. Pairs especially well dishes such as Coq au Vin and other chicken dishes.
Montelena 2018 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
Fresh and dynamic, with cranberry, cola, and raspberry jam. The acidity is laser focused, the spine pulling the layers of flavor into harmony with the wine’s supple, yet dense, structure. The tannins here serve to elevate not overwhelm the kinetic balance of texture, ripeness, and vineyard character.
Croft 2011 Vintage Port
Deep purple black colour. The complex seductive nose has the archetypal Croft opulence but displays impressive depth, background and reserves of aroma. A rich, powerful fruitiness provides the backdrop for heady scents of blossom and rock rose. Luscious ripe berry fruit flavour surges though the palate. The wine’s velvety texture is underpinned by taut, muscular, perfectly integrated tannins which provide stamina with an attractive firmness and vigour to the finish. More virile and structured than some recent Vintages from this classic house, the 2011 nevertheless displays all the rich ripe fruitiness and exotic scented character associated with the Croft house style.
