Quinta do Infantado 1999 Vintage Port Description: The Quinta do InfantadoPorts are grown, made and bottled at the Quinta, located near Pinhão, at an altitude of 150 meters, in a sub-region called Gontelho, which has long been renowned as a source of outstanding Port. The winery was established in 1816 by D. Pedro IV, the Portuguese crown heir. This is the origin of the Quinta's name: Infantado derives from Infante, the Portuguese for Prince. The LBV 2000 was aged in two large oak vats for 4 years. It is very dark, almost opaque in colour. All the vineyards at Quinta do Infantado are class A . This gives wine of great power and intensity. Traditional in style , it is rich and peppery on the nose with great intensity and length on the finish. It is, we think, unbeatable in this category (12 x 75 cl) Price: £312.98

Quinta do Infantado 2000 Vintage Port Description: ''We are traditional,'' explains Joao Roseira. ''We ferment our own grapes from very good vineyards in 'lagars' so get better extraction. As a result, we have higher natural alcohols, which gives us a finer, more elegant style of Port, as we don't need to add so much brandy.'' The best wine is undoubtedly the Vintage, Its swirling flavours of deep, dark plums and chocolate give way to a supple, warming rather than searing finish. The finesse on the finish is a key element of the Infantado wines, and is attributable to the fact that the wine brandy component in their blend is only 15%, whereas the average for Port is about 20% (6 x 75 cl) Price: £176.33

Quinta do Infantado 10 Year Old Tawny Port Description: ''We are traditional,'' explains Joao Roseira. ''We ferment our own grapes from very good vineyards in 'lagars' so get better extraction. As a result, we have higher natural alcohols, which gives us a finer, more elegant style of Port, as we don't need to add so much brandy.'' This finesse carries through to the 10 Year Old Tawny, which is a classic of the style. Intense and liquoricey and long, it is a wonderful sipping Port. The Roseira family was the first Portuguese producers to strike out on their own in the 1978 vintage, and they have, over the past 23 years, evolved a wonderfully individual style of Port. Based in Pinhao, one of the Douro's best areas (12 x 37.5 cl) Price: £135.64
