Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified

Stanton & Killeen’s vintage fortifieds hold legendary status, an essential inclusion in the back corner of every cellar, because we can’t all afford to drink Vintage Port all the time. These are wines to leave undisturbed for a very long time, and 2008 has more endurance than ever, thanks to a cool summer blessing it with vibrant fruit and a fresh acid profile. Fresh red liquorice and crunchy redcurrants zing through a long finish of lingering spice and very fine tannins. $32 direct.
