Stanton & Killeen Vintage Port 2002
Rich and lusciously complex, thanks to 45% of four Portuguese varieties, the remainder shiraz and durif; flavours of dark chocolate, licorice and spice, the palate sweet, but drying off appropriately on the finish. Cork. Rating 94 Drink 2024 Date Tasted Apr 08 James Halliday
This is a wonderful small winery that tends to be a bit of a microcosm for what Rutherglen does best. The fortifieds, naturally, are brilliant and the Durif, which is grown virtually nowhere else in the world, is a huge, tannic but beautifully made wine. The Stanton and Killeen Vintage Port is legendary and near enough to perfect." Ben Canaider
