Rated 95/100 Parker, the 2018 Red Vintage Port is one of the 5 greatest ports of the vintage according to the American critic. So much praise for this success at such a price level... You will enjoy its notes of juicy black cherry and sweet spices which are profiled in a dense, powerful, concentrated palate, with perfectly integrated alcohol and a nice freshness. It is a port to be served chilled at around 10° with a pan-fried foie gras or a red fruit and chocolate dessert. Its potential is immense, 30 years at least... Rated 17/20 by the Committee. |
