Quinta de Ventozelo 2002 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Already throwing considerable sediment and possessed of a creamy, supple mouthfeel, this is a vintage Port that should probably be consumed young. Enjoy its lush blueberry fruit, chocolate and spice complexity over the next 10 years. Imported by Supreme Wines & Spirits.

Quinta de Ventozelo 2003 Vintage Port (Port)
- $60
Still in the flush of youth, this creamy-textured vintage Port strikes all the right notes, from complex aromas to powerful flavors. Blackberry, plum and earth notes finish long, buttressed by supple tannins. Based on the rapid maturation of the 2001 and 2002, drink this one from 2010-2020.

Quinta de Ventozelo 2005 Vintage Port (Port)
- $70
Dense, dusty, structured, tannic, dry wine, that promises aging potential. It is definitely young, dark with plum skin fruits, power and richness, that go along with excellent acidity.

Quinta de Ventozelo 2000 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
A lovely single-quinta wine that can be drunk now and over the next 10-15 years, Ventozelo's 2000 is a supple, creamy-textured Port that features slightly briary herbal-floral accents to its dark berry flavors. Picks up some intriguing spice notes on the finish, so it's not just a fruit bomb.

Quinta de Ventozelo 2001 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Doesn’t show the richness or complexity of its younger counterparts, but this effort from Ventozelo is still pretty good. Modest floral and chocolate notes and youthful grapy flavors hint at further aging potential, but the tannins are already soft. Better to err on the young side and drink it over the next several years. Imported by Supreme Wines & Spirits.

Quinta de Ventozelo 2004 Vintage Port (Port)
- $65
Generally, 2004 is not a classic vintage Port year, but there are some very good ones around. This is soft, ripe and with good tannins. It will not age over many years, but its fresh red fruits and layer of dryness suggest it will be at its best in 3–4 years.

Quinta de Ventozelo 2007 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
A soft, gentle style, with hints of caramel from wood that give the Port roundness. The fruit is fresh, sweet, and then the acidity shoots through. The finish is full of ripe jamminess.

Quinta de Ventozelo 2008 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
Fruity, juicy wine, with some acidity pushing through the light structure. It is attractive, with a tangy, spicy edge.
