Quinta dos Canais Vintage 2007
Deep and rich ruby colour combined with a good fruity nose. There was
a substantial mouthful of rich plummy fruit flavours which will come
to the fore as the residual tannins fade.

Cockburn's LBV 2008
Cockburn's LBV 2008
Deep ruby colour and a light fruit on the nose. The taste had a well
structured combination of fresh berry flavours and tannins in a
satisfyingly full body.
Cockburn's Special Reserve

Bright ruby colour with a fresh and fruity nose. Youthful and fresh
with strong fresh grape flavours and a lot of harsh tannin.
Cockburn's Fine White
Cockburn's Fine White
Bright yellow colour with a gold tinge. The nose was clean and fruity
with a distinctively citrus character. The citrus theme carried
through in the tasting as the sweetness of this port revealed fresh
orange flavours combined with a honey warmth.
Graham's Tawny 20 Year Old (Bottled 2013)
Graham's Tawny 20 Year Old (Bottled 2013)
Clear mid-brown colour which was just a little paler than the 10 year
old. The nose held a lot of promise being richly filled with the
smell of a Christmas pudding cooking. The taste did not disappoint
combining dried fruits and orange peal with dry oak and a hint of
molasses.
Graham's Tawny 10 Year Old (Bottled 2012)
Graham's Tawny 10 Year Old (Bottled 2012)
Clear mid-brown colour with a full nose of woody dried fruits. This
was a full bodied port with rich dried fruits tempered with a woody
astringency.
