Hit the Jackpot!! A truly remarkable, exquisite honey like liquid, perfectly balanced with no flaws. The taste was almost electrical in its effect, remarkable considering it was almost 36 years old. Absolutely wonderful!!
(**You'll either be getting a truly remarkable, exquisite honey like liquid, perfectly balanced with no flaws....or maybe vinegar...but we doubt that.**)
Vintage Port is the most expensive and prestigious member of the Port family. Though accounting for just 1% of total Port production, Vintage Port commands the most attention and speculation from world wine markets. Vintages are only ‘declared’ when the quality of the fruit, the quantity available and market demand meet. It may take up to two years after harvest for a vintage declaration to be made. The quality of grapes used in Vintage Port is one of this style's distinguishing factors. The grapes, typically grown in the Cima Corgo sub-region of Douro, are left to achieve full ripeness before they are picked. This is Vintage Port’s first step in what will usually be a long life before consumption. It is often said that no other wine requires as much time in bottle to balance itself as Vintage Port: the minimum bottle-ageing period is considered to be 15 years, with the finest examples capable of vitality well after 50 years.
