Port Steal of the Year!
Our last find of 2015 is a real dusey. It’s not often that one can save 40% on a vintage Port that was already a good value at its original price. When a small Port producer has to compete against the likes of the Symington Family (Dow’s, Graham’s, Quinta do Vesuvio, Smith Woodhouse, Cockburn’s, and Warre’s) it is hard to make headway (even with lower pricing) in the US market. Which leads us to this vintage gem from Krohn which perfectly embodies the plush, silky demeanor that made the 2007’s so charming upon release. By rights this 2007 Krohn represents a smart buy at forty dollars. Now, thanks to a distributor liquidation, it is a down right steal at just $23.95.

Quantities are limited so don't hesitate to order. First come, first served.



KROHN 2007 QUINTA DO RETIRO NOVO VINTAGE PORT
WINE ADVOCATE 91 POINTS - "The 2007 Quinta do Retiro Nova Miso Vintage Port is a glass-coating opaque purple color. It sports an enticing bouquet of violets, spice box, mineral, licorice, and blackberry. This is followed by a supple, medium-weight, round, succulent wine with excellent depth and enough structure to develop for another 6-8 years. This lengthy offering will have a drinking window extending through 2027. It is a sleeper of the vintage." (02/10)

Quinta do Retiro Novo is in Sarzedinho, a small village in the Rio Torto valley. The secret to the superlative quality of Krohn’s Ports is a willingness to embrace traditional and modern winemaking techniques that is, traditional foot crushing in stone lagares as well as sophisticated robot crushing to achieve the utmost quality. The Quinta achieves more than 1200 points in the local Port classification - which takes into account grape varieties, vine age, density and other factors - to sit in the elite Class A of Port estates.

Great price! Notably, they also have the 2007 Krohn LBV in stock... for $21. That's how good the price is on this VP!
