Description

The quality of grapes used in Vintage Port is one of this style's distinguishing factors. The grapes, typically grown in the Cima Corgo sub-region of Douro, are left to achieve full ripeness before they are picked. This is Vintage Port’s first step in what will usually be a long life before consumption. It is often said that no other wine requires as much time in bottle to balance itself as Vintage Port: the minimum bottle-ageing period is considered to be 15 years, with the finest examples capable of vitality well after 50 years.

Vintage Port ages in bottle. It will continue to improve for many years after bottling. As it ages, Vintage port forms a natural deposit in the bottle and should be decanted with care two or three hours before it is to be served.

Optimum Drinking: Now - 2035

"One of the most spectacular 1994s, this opaque purple-colored wine is an exotic, flamboyant, ostentatious port. Extremely fragrant and pungent, with a flashy display of jammy cassis, pepper, licorice, and truffles, this port is an attention-grabber. Awesomely rich, and full-bodied, with superb length, richness, and overall balance, it possesses a huge mid-palate, layers of flavor, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish. Everything is in place, with the brandy and tannin well-integrated, even concealed by the masses of fruit and glycerin. This wine will drink fabulously well at age ten, but keep for up to thirty years." – (Robert Parker 97 score, Wine Advocate , Oct 1996)
