Poças Junior Vintage Port 2017 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 95/100

Poças Junior Vintage 2017 Port is just the right size (375 ml) to share with a duck pistachio nut paté, blue cheeses or some dark chocolate. This vintage port is a blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz and 15% Cão from old vines and is aged for one-half year in wood and 16 months in stainless steel tanks. Sweet and lush on the palate with ripe dark cherry, toffee, dried fruit, chocolate and balanced acidity. Approachable now, but would benefit from a few more years in cellar to begin to show its best, and could easily cellar for 20 more years. Try in 2026.

Port food pairings: fruit cake, dark chocolate studded with dried cherry and berry fruit, Stilton, Gorgonzola.
