I'm not usually a huge fan of Port, but give me this after a nice meal. Significantly different than the 10 year. Caramel. Smokey. Honey Nut Cheerios. — 2 years ago

This wine throws parties that go late but not too late full of characters but polite ones and also invites you to dinners with other intellectuals that go late and are rich but get deep and down to life on earth. Which is to say it hints at decadence but is cool with just having like, a real deep conversation on literature. Full of blackberry and cassis fruit but with baking spices and something that says mud delicious mud. Vibing with tannins that aren’t knitted in and a certain element that satisfies but leaves you unsatisfied so you take another sip and it may be on purpose to remind you you are mortal. — 4 years ago

Deep ruby.
Pronounced intensity youthful aromas of wild fruit, blackberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, dark cherry, ink, liquorice, cedar, fresh spices, pepper, violet.
Explosive dry concentrated palate, high acidity, high smoothened tannins, high alcohol-no overtone, full body, pronounced intensity.
Long fresh fruit and spicy finish.
Outstanding wine, great vintage, literally a newborn baby with great mouth concentration, can be aged for 2 decades at least. Accessible to drink, suitable for further aging.

Bottled in 2015. One of the best lbv. In de geur doet hij eerder denken aan een oude chateuneuf. En dan in de smaak.. heel smooth, veel concentratie, heel fresh. Mooie tannine. — 10 months ago

2016 vintage. Dirk Niepoort's answer to Burgundy and it actually has a Pinot Noir like colour and mouthfeel. This is a very unusual Douro from very old vines. Delicate nose with sour cherries , pomegranate and flowers. It is all about finesse and subtlety. Very long. Delicious and expensive (80 euros), but if you see the prices of Portuguese high end wines these days it almost seems a bargain. — 3 years ago

This is on the chocolate side on the palate rather than on the fruit side, although the nose has plenty of violets. Often overlooked besides the much praised 1994 vintage, this is just a killer VP with a massive tight core and an excellent bottle. Much less advanced than 1994's I had in the past 5 years so no hurry here if you have well stored bottles. — 4 years ago

Toffee and maple aromas stand out in this Colheita. Flavours of biscuit and toasted pecan emerge thereafter. The finish is vaguely like vanilla. — 6 years ago

Founded in 1822 and still managed by successive generations of the Guimaraens family. This is something special and should be set down for many years. I opened this bottle early to celebrate my Mom’s 86th birthday, which was a very special occasion. Dark purple with complex aromas of berry & currants with notes of dry herbs. On the palate lots of rich dark berry flavors, with cedar, pepper and mineral at the core. Dense tannins, lingering ending with a statement. Very nice! — 7 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

Sweet nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, chocolates, mocha, coffee, cocoa, tobacco and black pepper.

Full bodied and bold with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Sweet on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherry pie, figs, raisins, vanilla, oak, licorice, cloves, spices, alcohol, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, earth, peppercorn and coffee.

Long sweet finish.

This portogese Port is always enjoyable. Well balanced with nice complexity.

Not too complex, but very enjoyable by itself. Showing a bit too much alcohol on the palate and better a bit chilled.

I paired it with chocolate covered pomegranates.

20% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$20. — 7 years ago

Smells of warm blackberry scone.

Starts off with kirsch, artichoke amaro, hint of licorice, horehound, mint. Was hoping this would be better at the price point, as you don’t see many 100% touringa nacional in the states. — 3 years ago

In 1970 company changed ownership from founding family to the Symingtons, who have been Port producers since 1882 & through their Anglo-Portuguese great-grandmother, they trace Port heritage to 1652. Deep Amber color with delicate sweet nutty aromas. The palate showing notes of smoke, caramel, raisins & sweet figs. Long finish some honey, baked plum & hazelnut character. Very nice! 20-year is the sweet spot for affordability & style. Tasting Sample! — 6 years ago

Legs have bits of fruit in them, but 9/10. Oaky, nutty, caramel taste. Very oaky taste, nutty on the tongue. Not my fave but a good port. — 7 years ago

Not overly sweet and cloying, very distinct flavors light on the golden raisins and tobacco. More nuanced with black pepper and spices. Good flavors of spiced dry grape, very lovely. — 7 years ago
