Estimate
Big, rich & powerful with vibrant kirsch, red plum & raspberry tart that are fresh & juicy. The peppery finish glides easily off the tongue, revealing notes of milk chocolate. A chocolate character defines a finish offering plenty of grip.
Fantastic aromas of crushed berries and flowers with hints of minerals. Full body, lightly sweet with a powerful tannin and bright acid backbone. Goes on for minutes. Only 250 cases produced... from two small stone-terraced vineyards...
The inaugural Stone Terraces comes from two 18th century schist stone terraces... startling clarity & minerality on the nose, one of those young Ports where the spirit is so pure that it is difficult to distinguish from an unfortified wine!
A very aromatic wine with violet perfumes, this is attractive... has the richness and tannic structure necessary, while showing an open, accessible character. The acidity shows strongly at the end... magnificent long-term potential.
Singular nose offers blackberry, huckleberry, licorice, black olive and exotic flowers accented by a piquant note of blood orange. Hugely rich and superripe but with lovely lift and definition to its black fruit, mineral & licorice flavors.
Very atypical. Very big and ripe and beefy – sort of Bovril nose. Then sweeter and softer than the Graham vintage on the palate. Not heavy. Minerally and racy. Distinctive.
