WineScores' Review

Being a historic edition this ruby-brick Port is housed in a flat chestnut or bladder shaped bottle that were manufactured in England around about 1715-1740, and like this bottle, held one litre of wine.
The blend was pulled together from a selection of TF's extensive aged Tawny Port stocks and was aged in seasoned Port pipes (larger and longer than barriques).
Lively strawberry jam and cherry aromas are layered with dried orange peel, buttered nuts and pipe tobacco. Expressive red fruit lines the palate along with Christmas cake and cedar. Nice levity here with a elongated finish.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
