A sensational Vintage Port! Made from a blend of 80% Shiraz, 15% Touriga and 5% Durif, this wine has already won 14 Gold Medals and 5 Trophies and let us say if more vintage port of this quality surfaces there is likely to be a major winter revival. The Shiraz component comes from 1921 vines on Jacks Block in Rutherglen, the original block planted by Jack Stanton.Magnificent nose, just sublime with its exquisite aromas of marzipan, almond, liquorice and cocoa with a raisin end note. Mouthfilling palate with superbly fine brandy spirit. The flavour of marzipan persists and is seamless in its integration with liquorice, raisin and vanilla. Velvet smooth silky tannins are followed by a clean dry finish and very long aftertaste. This wine is filled with hedonistic pleasure and there is a danger of over indulgence in such circumstances. A rare experience and an absolute must over this winter or the next 10-20 years. Stocks are very limited.
