Tasting Notes
Rich magenta color. Powerful, intense, black fruit and cherry aromas with lovely fragrant aromatic notes. On the mouth, this wine is in perfect harmony with beautifully balanced fruit and tannins. Rich, elegant, luscious black fruit flavors. Enormous concentration with again this attractive scented quality coming through. A long rich finish. Very stylish.

"...tastes like a young vintage of Chateau Latour on steroids...this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage." Robert Parker 97 points
A port of high quality, made by blending wines of different harvests to achieve an array of qualities that are typical of these aged tawny Port wines. These wines have each matured in oak casks for varied periods of time, with the average age of all the wines in the blend defining the age on the label. The resulting blend expresses the characteristics given by the ageing in wood. Amber in colour, with green hues. An intense and complex nose, with prevailing aromas of dried fruit well-balanced with notes of vanilla and honey. On the palate, it is harmonious, concentrated and unctuous. A superb and enduring finish.

Tasting notes
A wonderful dark purple rim and great depth of colour characterise the wine’s appearance. The aromatic profile is dominated by superb youthful dark fruit. It is powerful on the initial attack, leading into a fresh mid-palate with beautifully seductive flavors of dark fruit. A great combination of power and elegance, ending in a bold, dry, lengthy and slightly green tannic finish. The length and structure of the 2017 vintage promise a long-lived wine with great ageing potential.
