There is a significant 27% of old vine (vinha velha) fruit in this wine alongside Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca: lighter and more floral on the nose, a suggestion of lavender perhaps, yet quite restrained compared to the wines above; ripe minty fruit and fine grained gripping tannins, fine and linear (but not lean) in style, just not as opulent as some 2018 Ports. This has a very different flavour profile, accounted for by the altitude and exposure of the property (east-facing) and the amount of old vines in the blend. Wonderful freshness and finesse on the finish. A wine to ponder and cherish.
