Pocas Vintage Port 2016

Poças Vintage Port 2016 is a powerful fortified wine from an exceptional Douro vintage, crafted for extended bottle aging. Intense blackberry, black cherry, violet, cocoa, and spice are layered over firm tannins and vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, chocolate cake, walnuts, and aged hard cheeses.

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Densely textured with dusty tannins and full of black plum skin and prune flavors, this is a ripe, complex wine. Its sweeter character does not spoil the great structure and dry core that will allow this exemplary wine to age. Drink from 2029.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

A well-built, solidly juicy and fairly forthright Port, brimming with plum cake, blackberry paste, melted black licorice and singed apple wood notes. Good brambly grip through the finish gives this latent length. Unfolds nicely in the glass. Best from 2030 through 2045.
