The 2020 Vintage Port is a field blend from old vines (60 years, from selected parcels from the back of Quinta das Carvalhas) aged for two years in 3,000-liter old Portuguese vats. It was bottled in July 2022 and comes in with 106 grams of residual sugar. Plump and not terribly vibrant, this seems to fill the mouth, and it tastes good but falls rather flat on first pour. It is not showing much finesse or lifted fruit. The next day, it shows better structure and it comes together better. It seemed to show a little potential in the cellar at that point, but it is still a wine with average structure. It walks down the middle of the road, doing most things reasonably well but nothing in a truly distinguished fashion. The modest power is such that this seems quite drinkable now. It probably is not going to make the best vin de garde Port, but it will certainly hold a couple of decades.
