The 2007 Delaforce Vintage Port reveals an alluring aromatic array of coffee bean, Asian spices, incense, black currant, and blueberry. This is followed by a supple, elegant, nicely balanced, succulently fruited wine that is likely to evolve for up to a decade. With a bit more concentration and length it would have been competing at the top of the pyramid. Importer: Signature Imports, Mansfield, MA; tel. (508) 261-8751; fax (508) 261-8736

Highly perfumed, with a nasturtium aroma, this is a wine that is bright, herbal and softly spicy. It is very soft, off key in character.——R.V.(12/15/2009)—— 85
