Tuesday, June 11, 2019 - Symington Vintage 2017 Presentation (NewWerkTheater, Amsterdam, NL): Fruit from mature plantings of Touriga Franca from the Vale da Teja sections of Vesuvio (35%), the Touriga Nacional from the high-lying Vinha das Minas and Raposa parcels (33%), the Sousão from the Minas and Quinta Nova vineyards (15%) and the Alicante Bouschet from Castelos (12%), plus 5% Tinta Amarela. The Sousão component was larger because of its important contribution to acidity. Baumé 3.9, TA 4.37 g/l. Relatively cool and terroir-driven style, minerally and on the drier side, tannic and masculine, but elegant and with floral lift, complex fruit, peach and apricot even, excellent length.
