 | Scion Vintage Port 1855
Ref: 8532 An extremely rare, cask-aged Tawny Port dating back to the mid 19th Century has been uncovered by Head Winemaker, David Guimaraens, in the village of Prezegueda in the Corgo Valley. Owned by a distinguished Douro family and passed down as a private family reserve through several generations, it only came to light after the recent death of the sole direct descendent. Her heirs decided to sell the remaining two pipes to Taylor’s earlier this year, a third was said to have been acquired by Winston Churchill. This unique piece of history is now available at vintagewinegifts.co.uk.
Rober Parker score 100/100 points "clear dark brown colour that looks like a mature Tokaji, with thick tears in the glass. It has a very intense, almost honeyed bouquet with allspice, singed leather, pressed rose petals, molasses, mint and a touch of dried fig. The oxidation is minimal, which is quite remarkable for its age, a sense of ebullience and joie-de-vivre bursting forth. The palate is full-bodied with intense honeyed fruits, touches of fig, date and liquorice vying for attention, biting acidity that cuts through the intense fruit. This is unbelievably fresh and vibrant with an almost Sauternes-like quality on the honey-glazed, hazelnut-tinged finish. It has unbelievable length. Simply stunning."
This vintage port is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew, wine pourer, drip stopper & wine thermometer) [worth £17.99] at no extra cost.

 | Quinta do Passadouro Vintage Port 1992 (1/2 bottle)
Ref: 7493/G23 Scoring 92/100 Parker points and from the very good 1992 vintage, "Produced and bottled by Niepoort, this opaque purple-colored port is more backward and tannic than Niepoort's vintage wines. Impressively endowed, with a reticent, but promising nose of chocolate, blackberry fruit, truffles, and licorice, this full-bodied, massive, moderately sweet port should be cellared until '00. It will age well for 20-30 years. Impressive!" Drink now - 2025. A wonderful gift.

 | Fonseca Vintage Port 1992
Ref: 2301/A39 From the very good 1992 vintage and scoring 97/100 parker points, this super port "is a majestic young port that should ultimately rival, perhaps even surpass this house's most recent great efforts ('85, '77, '70, '63). This colossal vintage port reveals a nearly opaque black/purple color, and an explosive nose of jammy black fruits, licorice, chocolate, and spices. Extremely full-bodied and unctuously-textured, this multi-layered, enormously-endowed port reveals a finish that lasts for over a minute. It is a magnificent port that will age well for 30-40 years ." Drink now - 2035. A wonderful christening gift.

 | Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 1992
Ref: 1841 From the very good 1992 vintage, this vintage port scores 100/100 Parker points and "is unquestionably the greatest young port I have ever tasted. It represents the essence of what vintage port can achieve. The color is an opaque black/purple, and the nose offers up fabulously intense aromas of minerals, cassis, blackberries, licorice, and spices, as well as extraordinary purity and penetration. This is a massive, magnificently rich, full-bodied port that will be far more flattering in its youth than were such Taylors as the '83, '77, or '70. This monumental 30-50 year port is a must purchase for port aficionados.! Also noteworthy is the fact that the 1992 Taylor commemorates the 300th anniversary of this firm, as evidenced by the special bottle Taylor used for this port." Drink now - 2045.

Ref: 7950/B25 Scoring 90/100 Parker points and from the outstanding 1994 vintage, "The 1994 Croft exhibits an impressive dark ruby/purple color, and a developed, forward, more evolved style than expected. It is moderately sweet, full-bodied, expansive, pure, and rich, but made in an up-front, flattering style. Although outstanding, it is not one of the superstars of the vintage. It will keep for twenty years." Drink now - 2020. A wonderful gift.

Ref: 2567/D23 Scoring 94/100 Parker points, this amazing port is "An opaque blue/purple color (typical of this vintage's top offerings) is followed by a strikingly provocative aromatic display (flowers, licorice, blackberries, and cassis). This firmly-structured, classic, tightly-knit, restrained port exhibits brilliant purity as well as impressive intensity. While not the most dramatic or flamboyant, it is a beautiful, classically structured port that will age gracefully."
