Vintage Port has become a little unfashionable and that's mostlythe fault of winemakers who tried to push up sales byencouraging consumers to drink the entire bottle at one sitting- to ensure that the ritual was achieved the cork was usuallythrown in the fire. Today we're all older and wiser and VintagePort should be taken in moderation and will keep perfectly wellover a month - after all it's fortified - granted some freshnesswill be lost - but ah - no hangovers next day!!The Sevenhill Vintage Port is a limited parcel and has won theMichael Frangos Memorial Trophy as well as 3 silver and 2 bronzemedals. Deep sienna brown colour. Made from Shiraz grown at theSevenhill College. The nose displays wonderful mature aromas ofmarzipan toffeed raisins, confectionary and sweet liquorice.Fine brandy spirit has been used to create a full bodied richport of great length and depth. Drink now after a decant orcellar for up to 5 years.\Z
