Port Exclusive, Hammarbystraat 108, Amsterdam (2026)

This Reserva Ruby Port is a blend (composition) of different Port w**es and harvest years. The Port is aged in concrete and stainless steel to limit the oxidative properties obtained with wood aging. The semi-dry style gives this Ruby focus and reduces the cloying sweetness.

On the palate: This Port is rich, but not cloying. A lively aroma of plum and blackberry, laced with traces of cocoa powder and black pepper.

Tasting note:
Dark purple with a bright ruby red edge. The nose shows a lot of dark fruit: black raspberry and grape jam. Juicy at first, delicious fruit with a well-defined middle and medium length on the warm, well-balanced finish. There is significant grip and tannin for a w**e of this class, as well as remarkable freshness and complexity. I have to say, I’m really impressed, this was way more than I would expect from a basic Ruby and one that I just want to keep drinking.

For a “simple” Ruby Port it is very good, complex with a medium body and full mouthfeel. Fruit upfront as expected from a Ruby, the palate is full of rich grapes, some cherry, raspberry, red currant and in the background I sense a hint of smoke, earth and possibly even aged leather. It’s a very nice Ruby that can compete with many LBVs.

The special thing about the Port w**es of Quinta do Infantado is that they are predominantly less sweet than the Port of other brands. This gives them more power in the flavor, which is not muddled by the sweet content. The Port w**es of Quinta do Infantado have therefore the flavor description medium-dry.

This 100% organic Tawny Reserva Port is an excellent 6 year old Port and is produced with only grapes from Gontelho, the heart of the Porto DOC. The aroma has a predominance of nuts, especially walnuts, with a slight acidity, which is a very pleasant addition. On the palate, this Tawny has caramel, raisins and spices. Pretty complex, but consistent. Very fine and long finish.

Taylor’s Vintage Port 2007

Opaque, purple/black color with a narrow purple border. Characteristic Vintage Port: Stylish and spicy, with a nose of dense blackcurrant and forest fruits overlaid with discreet herb nuances and scents of violet and rose petals. As always, Taylor’s classic elegance and understatement hide the w**e’s energy and power. On the palate, it shows the lean, sinewy and tight tannins so typical of the Taylor style and the lively and clearly defined fruit flavors characteristic of the 2007 season

The Infantado LBV deserves a few more years of bottle aging to reach their full potential. The 2009 Infantado LBV is currently showing lots of blackberry, licorice and raisin notes.

Aubergine purple with a ruby red edge. On the nose there are dark berries, blackberries, blueberries and black raspberries, with a floral edge, somewhere between violets and rose petals. The Port has a nice freshness. The same fresh berries are found on the palate, ripe but not jam-like, with a light acidity that nicely accentuates the dry style. The tannins are mild, but present and the finish is of medium length. Uniquely spicy and dry as with the other Infantado Port w**es can be found. Silky texture.
