2007 Hundred Acre 'Fortification' Port

"Reminding me of a great, fully mature vintage port from Fonseca, the 2007 Fortification (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is unquestionably the most exotic and extravagant release in the lineup and one of those wines that needs to be tasted to be believed. Revealing a ruby/plum hue (it's almost opaque), it has an incredible array of ripe red and black fruits, sweet tobacco, cigar, chocolate, and toasted spices, among other nuances. Incredibly complex, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, sweet tannins, and a great, great finish. Like all the vintages of this cuvée, it has that fabulous ability to bring tons of richness and power while staying light on its feet and balanced, with a sense of elegance. This sensational wine can be enjoyed any time over the coming 30-40 years, although there's no need to delay gratification." 100/100 - Jeb Dunnuck
