Natalie's Score: 92/100

A rich and seductive vintage port from 2014 that's a blend of 60% Touriga Franca with 20% Touriga Nacional grapes with the remainder small amounts of other local grapes. This port has 97 grams per litre of residual sugar. The 2014 vintage was challenging for port producers, yet this is a terrific after-dinner drink. Aromas of blackberry liqueur and fruitcake. This estate was founded in 1877. Pair with toasted nuts and hard cheeses.

Vintage Port food pairings: dark chocolate, blue cheeses, roasted nuts.
