A traditionally produced vintage port from Portugal's Douro Valley, bottled at 20% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Fruit comes from Quinta do Seixo and Quinta do Vau, and the wine was foot-trodden in traditional granite lagares with automatically controlled fermentation temperatures. The blend is 50% Touriga Franca, 40% Touriga Nacional, 5% Sousão and 5% other native red varietals. Sandeman did not declare a 2017 Classic Vintage Port, holding back for the 2018 casks.
The nose opens with blackberry and black cherry, with herbal nuances, cocoa, liquorice and a touch of tar. The palate is powerful and concentrated, with stewed plum, dark chocolate, spice and cardamom, lively acidity, firm but ripe tannins and stony minerality. The finish is long, with black fruit, cocoa and spice.
