Bordeaux was hot and dry and produced a very good vintage. It was very good for Red Burgundy and outstanding for White Burgundy. It was a good vintage in the South and poor in the North of the Cote du Rhone. In Portugal, a very wet summer led to a poor vintage for port.

So that customers can appreciate very old vintage ports, vintagewinegifts have rebottled and recorked a small selection of classic vintage ports for you to enjoy. This bottling is a 20cl bottle of Taylor Fladgate 40 year old Tawny Port - This 40 year old Tawny port scored 95/100 Parker points, "It comes in with 125 grams per liter of residual sugar.

This sweet red wine from the South of France scored 90/100 Parker points by Neil Martin, "The 1986 Rivesaltes from Riveyrac has more complexity and vigor, touches of marmalade and ginger, just a little smudged at first, but it gains clarity while retaining its welcome volatile kick. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, marmalade and quince, harmonious and quite caressing in the mouth with a dash of white pepper, ginger and dried orange peel on the finish."

From the very good 1986 vintage and scoring 86/100 Parker points, " The 1986's rating may turn out to be conservative as this wine tends to show better after 10-12 years in the bottle than it does when young. Made from 70 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 percent Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the 1986 is full bodied, deep ruby/purple in color, but extremely hard and tannic. However, it appears to have the depth and concentration of fruit necessary to outlast the tannins" Drink now - 2034. A delightful 40th vintage wine gift for a 1986 anniversary!.

The Lyrical Abstract art of Hans Hartung embodies the essence of his own personal individualism. Intellectually independent and little influenced by his contemporaries, he conveys an energy, through sweeping brushstrokes and vibrantly colored lines, that movement is life and form is language. In the medium of the bottle, he implies the vibrant overflowing of the wine of life.
