Certainement un des meilleurs porto que j’ai bu. Encore en jeunesse, enormenent de fruit, de concentration et une belle acidité. Les tannins sont encore bien present.
Bu avec Marc Coul et Raph.

At this stage the port is still extremely young, yet delicious. On the slightly dusty nose, cassis and crushed mint, with deep, savory overtones. Somewhat sweet yet with a tart complexity and a way of evolving in the mouth, ends on a rich, long, mineral note that carries it out endlessly.

Viscous and chewey. Has lots of blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, nutty, herbs and vanillian. Big, powerful, with structure for longivity. But, open enough at this stage for appreciation now. Intense fruit concentration. Nice finish.

Consumed over 7 days, this is a heck of a port. It was just starting to unfurl on the last day, but was never difficult to enjoy due to heat or tannin. The future is bright for this one. How much better can the Nacional be?

Great balance, love the freshness and balance, less opulent than most. primary fruit right now and will benefit from 20 years of cellaring.
