Quevedo, 2002
Colheita Port, Douro
***90 Points (MS) - Wine Advocate***
2002 was a difficult year. Definitively the biggest challenge of the decade - even for Quevedo. Since no grapes were used to produced Vintage Port, their best selection was used to make this Colheita. With 20 years of ageing in their cellar, this is probably the most elegant and complex Colheita produced so far.

Burmester, 2002
Vintage Port, Douro
Presented in Wooden Gift Box
Library Release
This 2002 Burmester Vintage Port has outstanding provenance! This bottle has been stored at the Burmester cellars on Porto since bottling until it was acquired by us earlier this year.
from the very good 2002 Port Vintage the Burmester has a beautiful mature tawny colour. On the nose it has cocoa, chocolate together with a hint of mint. On the palate this is quite complex - medium bodied with a perfect balance between the acidity, tannins and flavours, there is a little spiciness in the mouth that adds to the experience. Long, long finish. This is in a good place and should hold well for a couple of decades. …

Quinta Das Carvalhas, 2002
Colheita Port, Douro
Includes Presentation Tube
93 Points - Wine Spectator
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast
We are delighted to exclusively offer in the UK these outstanding Ports and wines from one of the most iconic estate in the Douro Valley. Quinta Das Carvalhas
As wood-aged Colheitas go, this is young, emphasizing fruit rather than wood aging. That makes a spicy wine with toffee and caramel flavors that has layers of red fruits and acidity. The wood shows fitfully through at the end. Roger Voss
