Description
In a nutshell:
A concentrated yet wonderfully elegant vintage port that has real ageing potential.
The lowdown:
2017 was probably the best of three consecutive years of generally declared vintages. The wines from this year look like being quite rich, intense and powerful. The freshness of the floral aromas here are very attractive while on the palate it's exceptionally full-bodied, rich and powerful with black fruit coming to the fore. Gorgeous, ripe fruit is balanced by the fine tannin structure. On the finish it's typically austere and somewhat drier than many other ports with the intense fruit flavours lingering long on the palate.
When to drink:
This is one to put away until at least the late 2020s after which time it will remain in tip top shape probably until around 2060.
Vintage port is likely to contain sediment so should be decanted prior to drinking.
