March 20, 2021 - Tasted over two days.
A blueberry (with blackberry accents) and tobacco fest, aligned with berry liqueurs, dark chocolate ganache, worn leather, sous-bois, and minerals, on the bouquet and palate.
Delicious, bordering on luxurious, and quite long. Overall, however, this wine, like so many others in this overstated declared vintage, lacks middle and bass substance, and is even a little light on the requisite acid that allows a wine to age for longer than two decades. Also, the alcohol shows angularities.
Overall, quite pretty, and it should last through 2035-2040, though beyond that seems iffy. -

June 5, 2018 - 2016 Vintage Port - the Symington Family Estates (Restaurant Entrepot Amsterdam): Bottled in April (in advance) for this en primeur tasting. very young and deep colour, lovely integrated cherries, acidity fractionally higher; very elegant, showing some minerals (tea), therefore giving the impression of more ripeness. Only 1,220 cases made.
