The 2017 Vintage Port is a field blend from old vines (60%) in Carvalhas, with the rest Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca from the winery's other quintas (Aciprestes and Síbio), all aged for 24 months in Portuguese vats. It comes in with 105 grams of residual sugar. A bit leaner than most 2017s, this nonetheless has beautiful fruit and classic flavors. Spicy, delicious and lingering on the finish, this is going to be a pleasure to drink. It will be approachable on the earlier side, but time will still help it. I liked this only slightly better than the winery's Delaforce bottling—that is stern and serious, but this has a somewhat better expression of fruit. I preferred the brighter Carvalhas (also separately listed) as a personal preference, but in most ways, this might be as good. There were 1,083 cases produced.
