Vintage Port
A very limited quantitiy was produced with our best grapes of the 2005 harvest. Bottled 2 years after the harvest, the Vintage Port will keep developing inside the bottle and your patience will be rewarded after a few decades.

TASTING NOTES
Colour
Dark cherry color
AROMA
Ripe fruit evocative of black plum and redcurrant. Earthy and well balanced with a touch of dry wood. Raspberry and violet flower flavor emerges with a lovely hint of minerality.
PALATE
Balanced and voluminous with very good tannins. Sweet oak combined with dried fruit such as fig, plum or date. Persistent and unique finish.
