Description:
Vintage Port is supposed to be the winemaker's idea of perfection. Many vintage ports are capable of , and in fact, demand long bottle aging- 15-25 years is not unusual. I've made vintage ports in '89, '90, and 94 All of these wines are decidedly heavier than the ruby or tawny- but are probably going to be at their best somewhere between 10 and 15 years of age- based on this prediction, I probably should qualify them as "ports of the vintage" rather than "vintage ports"- this may seem like a fine distinction, but it is one them informs you not to try to lay them down for 20 years. All are fairly drinkable now- especially with some good cheeses like Stilton or other blue cheeses, aged extra sharp with Walnut's or some of the chocolate Chukar Cherry products work well too
