"Opaque ruby. A complex, beautifully structured wine from Europe’s hot summer of 2003. Lively spicy, toasted aromas and a ripe and generous palate with layers of rich, dense flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, tobacco, spice box and a hint of marmalade. Finishes dry and long with still firm tannins. A delicious Port that should be paired with Roquefort and other blue cheeses."

"The 2007 Romariz Vintage Port is a glass-coating opaque purple color. It delivers an expressive perfume of spice box, espresso, violets, blackberry, and fruitcake. On the palate it has good volume, savory flavors, plenty of structure, and a decade of aging potential. This lengthy, effort will offer a drinking window extending from 2017 to 2027."

"Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate genache, ripe blueberries, spiced pastry, honey, and licorice with a slightly chewy, lively, very sweet medium-to-full body and a subtle, medium-long finish with accents of stewed raisins with chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A dense and sturdy vintage port that should age gracefully, youthful now but will develop into a complex wine worthy of a special occasion. Drink 2025-2030."
