Decanter 95 points - John Fleurriet Delaforce came to Porto in 1834 to set up the new firm of Martinez Gassiot, delving into the Port business. From there, House Delaforce was created in 1868 by his son George Henry Delaforce. Interestingly, between 1894 and 1906 the company was distinguished with a warrant as a supplier of Port to the Portuguese royal household. Today Delaforce is run by Real Companhia Velha, an independent family group which focuses on quality production. RM: A touch of orange marmalade on the nose and palate, with a sweet and suave finish.
