Not one of the generally declared vintages for Port, this year produced some ripe, sweet single quinta vintages. It also was a good year for rich, sweet tawnies. This is ripe, toffee-like in character packed with ripe raisin and sultana flavors. It is a luxurious wine, of course ready to drink.

What better way to celebrate a 40th birthday or anniversary than a 1978 PortWhat better way to celebrate a 40th birthday or anniversary than a 1978 Port? This release, from cult producer Kopke, is just lovely. Bottled from cask in 2015, it is aged to perfection. Warm caramel, toffee and intense nuttiness envelop and flood the palate. The mouthfeel is soft and unctuous - like a velvet glove, kept lively, tense and fresh by high-quality brandy spirit. Great value for 40 years of perfection.
