“The amazing world of Garrafeira Port”. Vertical tasting, wine #2/4. Aged in casks for 4 years, then transferred to demijohns and in 2018 from 131 demijohns to 1660 bottles. Medium+ garnet amber. Rich and expressive aroma of prunes, liquorice, figs, cassis, hazelnuts hints of dried cherries and strawberries, raisins, jammy and spiced notes, caramel. Palate is dense and well balanced by medium acidity and velvety tannins. Ripe and dried red and black fruit flavours, cinnamon, nuts, liquorice, very long finish.

2018 Vintage Port Tasting (Seattle, Washington): Decanted 4 days ago. Amber-orange in color. Semi-opaque. Light red fruit on the nose with sage and herbal notes. Medium, smooth body with strawberry, red fruits, cinnamon, and a touch of spirit. Rich palate and good acidity on the long finish.
