Quinta da Romaneira Vintage Port 2008

Description

A wine of exceptional quality made with the best grapes of a single harvest. A Vintage declaration occurs when producers believe that all conditions are gathered to release the highest standard of quality. On average, fully declared 2 to 3 times per decade, the wine must be bottled between the 2nd and 3rd year after the harvest. A wine built to age for decades reaching full maturity after 20 to 40 years of bottle aging.

Tasting Notes

Deep rich purple in colour. Spicy and aromatic nose of mint and dark cherry, with a blast of freshness. The deep palate displays mildy savoury notes, soft and round tannins, mocha, roasted coffee bean, and a sweet core of raspberry and blackberry dipped in dark chocolate, and a finish of outstanding length.
