Quinta Vale D. Maria Vintage Port 2014
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalTasting in its primary youth, this concentrated vintage port is alive with vibrance and intensity. Smoked tobacco, potent cassis mark the dense palate, one quite grippy with raw, raging tannins that will settle with time. Sweet and spirited on the finish, lay this intense Port down for five years, as a start.Tasted: 21 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Blend: Touriga Franca - Tinta Roriz - Tinta Barroca - Touriga Nacional - Tinta Cão
