Tasting notes

The 2015 Vintage Port is mostly Touriga Nacional, with 20% Touriga Franca and 10% Tinto Cão. It comes in with 109 grams per liter of residual sugar and was aged in oak vats for 24 moths. This was a tank sample when seen but out of barrel and awaiting bottling as the final blend. Christian Seely declared the 2015 vintage here, saying that the winery from time to time obtains "from two parcels of old vine Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, Ports of outstanding quality that merit a declaration. The last time this happened was in 2011." Lush and relatively rich for a 2015, this has good concentration and a palate-coating feel. It is packed with fruit and a touch sweet on the edge, but it's a bit less impressive in terms of structure. However, it may be that its mid-palate is just soaking up the power at the moment. Let's see how this shakes off its baby fat and comes along. It is always going to be pretty tasty, though. It should be approachable young and hold well for several decades, at the least. There were approximately 1,000 cases produced. It is scheduled for release in September.
