The 2004 Vintage Port Quinta da Ervamoira is a blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 45% Touriga Franca and 15% Tinta Barroca (a big change from 2002), coming in with 90.5 grams of sugar. Compared to the jammy 1994, this has a bit more of an edge and focus (and far less Barroca), but it is not overly powerful, just a little tight. With two hours decanting in a small vessel (meaning, it airs out faster), it came around very well and showed more smoothness and harmony. It is not as developed or as expressive as the 1994, to be sure, and I'm frankly not sure it ever will be. It is very good, but just a little straightforward by comparison. Even though this is approachable, I would continue to age this to allow further development—or give it three hours of decanting in a normal decanter. There were 19,500 bottles produced.
