Poças | Vintage Port

Vintage Port is only declared in the finest years, perhaps three times a decade, and unlike every other Port it is bottled young and does the rest of its ageing in the bottle rather than the cask.

Tasting Notes
Dense ruby colour. Very fresh aromas with elegant notes of blackberry, black plum, chocolate, coffee steam, tobacco leaf and spices. Silky in the mouth, enveloping and tasty with round but firm tannins. Elegant and long on the finish. A declared Vintage Port is the pinnacle of the Douro, made only from the best fruit of the best years, and it will continue to develop in bottle for decades.
