Warre's 2000 Vintage Port
Description: A pioneer in the production of Port in the early part of the 18th century in 1983 a rather small quantity was made. The freshness and outstanding aromatic quality was probably the best since 1963, possibly excepting the 1977. This Vintage is beginning to show some of the wonderful characteristics of bottle matured wine. A really haunting scent. Wonderful orangey fruit. This has everything. The fruit, acidity and tannin balance is superb. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £693.83

Fonseca 1994 Vintage Port
Description: In exceptional years Fonseca will make the decision to declare a classic vintage port. Only the finest wines, selected for their great intensity, depth and aging potential, are bottled under these vintage labels. On average this happens three times a decade. Renowned for their voluptuous rich fruit, mouthfilling density, tannic structure and grip, they are wines of breed, balance and great complexity. The Fonseca Guimaraens house style is one of richness and warmth, with a lush fruit intensity and a structure of both dimension and finesse. More voluptuous than massive, Fonseca Ports are coveted for their sumptuous yet refined body and great longevity. The backbone of Fonseca vintage ports are the wines drawn primarily from Fonseca's three quintas, all located in Cima Corgo: Quinta de Santo Antonio, Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta do Panascal. Hold on to your hat. This is the best Fonseca since 1977, and it's probably even better than that classic vintage-more like the breathtaking 1948. Mind-blowing, with masses of color, aroma and fruit flavor. Smells like fermenting berries, boasting loads of crushed grape, violet and berry character. Big, full-bodied and very sweet, with tons of tannins and a sweet finish. Tannic and huge, it's a long-term, great Port
Joseph Phelps Vineyards BACKUS Napa Valley California
Description: Founded in 1972, Joseph Phelps Vineyards is an independent, estate-based winery located outside of St. Helena. Perched on a knoll in bucolic Spring Valley, the graceful redwood winery overlooks vineyard-studded hills, the town of St. Helena and the Mayacamas Mountains to the west. Long known for his innovative spirit and passion for quality, Joe Phelps pioneered a number of 'firsts' in the early years of the winery. The 1974 Insignia — released in the spring of 1978 — was the first Bordeaux-style blend produced in California under a proprietary label. The release of the 1974 Syrah in 1977 sparked industry-wide interest in a remarkable French varietal whose plantings in California had disappeared and been virtually forgotten for over half a century. And in 1990, after years of research, a whole new family of Rhone-style wines was introduced which today includes Syrah, Viognier and a Chateauneuf-du-Pape style blend called Le Mistral. This Red is a blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate-owned Backus Vineyard in Oakville. Once the grapes were harvested at an average 24.5o Brix, they were fermented in stainless steel tanks, and aged 23 months in new French oak barrels before being bottled. The first Backus Cabernet Sauvignon was produced in 1977 from a 6.75 acre parcel leased from Marian Backus, and even then Phelps believed this steeply-terraced hillside vineyard with its brick-red soil was capable of producing outstanding wines. Subsequent vintages, especially during the 90’s, confirmed their belief, and when the entire 45-acre parcel was offered for sale in 1996, Joseph Phelps enthusiastically bought it. Extremely balanced, concentrated and flavourful fruit were used in this Cabernet Sauvignon. Showing trademark flavours of chocolate, berry and mineral, its silky texture and, perhaps most distinctive, powerful, sweet tannins deliverr through to the finsh. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £808.96
