Port
About the SessionThe Port session is a true treasure trove for collectors of Cape and Portuguese fortified wines. It is rare to encounter a collection of vintage Ports such as those featured in the 2026 Strauss Winter Catalogue. With the colder evenings approaching, these complex and beautifully layered wines make the perfect companions to open before dinner, adding warmth and atmosphere to any gathering.
About this Item
The 1961 vintage is widely celebrated as a year of outstanding concentration and balance, and this Cape fortified wine has spent more than six decades developing the extraordinary secondary complexity of a fully mature tawny: molasses, bitter chocolate, raisins and beautifully integrated spirit, as confirmed by Tim Atkin MW's 94/100 rating.

Critics Ratings
'It's not just because this was made in my birth year that I find it such a delight. A mature Tawny style of great complexity, it's super sweet and concentrated with flavours of molasses, bitter chocolate and raisins. The spirit is beautifully integrated here. Drink: 2015-30' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 94/100
