Holding up better than I thought. Throwing lots of sediment, but that’s expected. Muted nose. Raisiny red berry +marzipan , sweet core, but not overpowering. Drink now. Glad I have more. — 6 years ago

1999 vintage!! Can't believe how great this wine still is!! Opened it for Valentine's Day dinner tonight. Bought it at the winery a LONG time ago. Still smooth with some nice dried fruit and some spice notes. So fun to experience this wine so many years later and still love it — 9 years ago

A surprise blind tasting at the end of our meal at Guy Savoy. The somm Andrew Hurley (merci beaucoup!!) blinded me on this one boy was I so wrong! Orange blossom, walnut paste, saffron, ginger candy, cinnamon, nutmeg, fig, etc. etc. And yet so fresh! Great acidity. Great balance despite >400g/L RS. I thought it was like maybe 1976. Oh boy I was 76 years off! Such a treat. This is probably the oldest wine I’ve ever had. — 3 years ago
Grapes from hell. Off-dry, acid dab, rock-lick, gorgeous texture. This sh1t is on point! The struggle for life as depicted by a painter - makes you weep with incredulousness. Sugar-frosted bandaids and plantain-skin visions on the second day, if you can get there. Royal leanings. Sun-stroked skin. Impeccable scale. Dig it. — 6 years ago

Not what I expected. Dark in color. Way to dark to be from oak so probably caramel. Also a distinct but not sickly sweetness. I don’t think one really can rate something like this. It was wonderful to drink b — 8 years ago

Spectacular! Mind blowing. One of my top 10 of all time. On every serious wine lover’s bucket list, and here we had a nigh perfect bottle. While aromatically a little recalcitrant, you still got some of the Margaux violets and potpourri on the nose, hints of clove, all trying to shake off their doldrums. But on the palate, it was timelessly ravishing. The finesse, richness, balance and smoothness, with an underlying, almost flabbergasting mixture of complexity and delicacy, was just astonishing. The finish is marvelously sweet and intense, with chocolate and cassis and utterly seamless tannins. This is a miracle of wine making and an exaltation of vintage and terroir besides. Wow! And bravo! We can only pray for an encore of such a wine. — 10 years ago


So special. Figs and honey arise with power. Yet elegant and refined. — 3 years ago
Very cool to drink a Colheita port from 1900. Flown over from the UK the night before, so still undergoing some bottle shock. Could have stood for a few more days to settle any sediment. Cloudy but still pretty delicious. — 7 years ago

Gloriously smooth and balanced. Stewed prunes, fruit cake and spices. Fascinating acidity of citrus zest, lemon oil. The perfect sweetness to balance the acidity on this. Lots of extra flavors bounce around on the thrilling finish which borders on refreshing somehow. — 9 years ago
