Burmester Vintage Port 2020

The vineyard of Quinta do Arnozelo is situated on the southern bank of the Douro river, between the small towns of São João da Pesqueira and Vila Nova de Foz Côa. This is in the prestigious upper reaches of the Douro demarcated wine region, the aptly named Douro Superior. The Burmester Vintage Port 2020 is loaded with character and enormous ageing potential. From a fully declared year, this port is a blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, this is warm, lightly textured with minerality and touched by toastiness. The tannins are soft, already well integrated with the floral notes and black fruits.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Very forward and expressive, with streaming violet, boysenberry and melted black licorice aromas and flavors serving as the dominant notes. Feels seamless from start to finish, with a late flurry of spices and fruitcake to finish it off. This is going to be delicious at its peak. Best from 2038 through 2055. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

93 Points - Wine Enthusaist

This is a dry style of Vintage Port with structure and the added spirit to the fore at this very young stage. The wine has richness, a dry core and dense black fruits. It will age, of course. Drink this fine wine from 2029.
