What to Expect

Port wine is one of the great dessert wines of the world. Based on a blend that usually features Touriga Nacional, vintage Port is a rich red wine witch is fortified with grape spirits. It combines the chewy, tannic bite of red wine with a sweetness that helps buffer the added alcohol and supports the spicy plum and dark berry fruits. Vintage Port is capable of aging and improving for decades. Other types of Port include Ruby Port, which is enjoyed in its youth for it fresh fruit, Tawny Port, which has been aged in wood for years giving it its tawny color and progressively nuttier flavors as the wine increases in age, and Colheita port, which is a Tawny Port from a single vintage.

Magnificent. Fruity, vibrant, layered, and complex. Nose is very powerful and intense. Creme de cassis, vanilla, dried fruits, smoke, and leather quite jammy. Color is a little light, and see through which leads me to believe this already 44 year old bottle has 10-15 more years if not longer! Sediment was noticeable, decant and strain, let breathe one hour minimum. Hold or drink now till 2020 +
-Note to drinker: (corks for this vintage are notoriously brittle so be careful).
