Opulent wild blackberries, fragrance of violets, scents of flowers and wild herbs, rockrose, mint, hints of spice, bottled in their time capsule and left to mull over for years. The finish is long and persistent. It never really finishes, in fact, because just as it starts to, you'll take another sip. We are not satisfied with anything less than perfection. And nor should you be. So, we only 'declare' a Vintage year when the weather has been idyllic and everyone is feeling very happy about things in general. Our reputation hangs on the quality of our Vintage Port: it is our pride and joy. So, we don't take it lightly. Making Vintage Port is a serious business, but you don't need to be serious to drink it, you only need to enjoy.
