Delaforce Vintage Port 2011
94 JAMES SUCKLING
"A pureness and focus to this young vintage Port makes it exceptional. Aromas of blueberries and raspberries. Full body, medium sweet with an integrated fruit and tannin structure. Lasts for minutes on the palate. Extremely well-made. 500 cases produced of this foot-trodden wine." – James Suckling. 
Delaforce Touriga Nacional 2009

Delaforce Tinto 2009

"This exhibits lots of lift to the vibrant cherry, violet, crushed red plum and red licorice flavors. The lively finish shows hints of chocolate mint, with some creamy overtones. Drink now through 2017. 2,500 cases made." – Kim Marcus. Web only 2012.

Touriga Nacional & Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

It has qualities of blackberry and herb; its tannins are now well-integrated after 18 months in wood and three years in bottle. It’s big, ripe, spicy and ready to drink. 1.000 cases made." Roger Voss. Dec. 2012.
