While this wine certainly tastes old, it has a delicious golden glow from the richness of the apricot jelly-flavored ripe fruit. There is just a touch of spirit, but this adds to the warmth. Imported by Jack Poust & Co., Inc.

This ripe and juicy wine has good structure. It combines the rich sweetness of the year with rich tannins and red cherry. For medium-term aging.

A dense, firm style of wine from this small Dutch-owned Port house. Offers good acidity, old wood and very bitter chocolate flavors. The aftertaste, by contrast, is sweet.

An elegant wine, its acidity showing through balanced black berry fruits. The wine has good spice along with a dry core of light tannins.

Smooth, soft wine, with caramel aromas, charming and accessible. There is a rich texture and fruit along with the typical acidity of 2008.

An easy, fresh, ripe style, with dried fruits and a perfume note that is spoiled by the rubber character and some old wood. Anybody who stays in Portugal’s pousadas, the state-run hotels, will have had this brand.
