Quinta do Infantado, Porto
Quinta do Infantado er grundlagt i 1816 af den portugisiske kronprins Pedro IV. De seneste ca 100 år har quintaen været ejet af familien Roseira, i dag drevet af Joao og hans svigerinde Catherine. Alle de godt 40 ha vinmarker har A-klassifikation; alle marker til portvin får points for en række forskellige faktorer - markens højde over havet, jordbund, beliggenhed, opbindingsmetode, hældning...
The 2015 Vintage Port is a field blend from old vines (50+ years) that comes in at 85 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is lighter styled, fresh and easy, but with fine intensity of flavor. The freshness just now is actually rather glorious. Its fine acidity lifts the fruit on that flavorful finish, but it does lack some concentration for a top VP. This producer does tend to emphasize elegance in general and the vintage does as well. Its structure is average. This is a great deal of fun, but I'm not sure it will develop much. That said, its acidity will help preserve it and it is very tasty—impossible to dislike. - Mark Squires
