2016 Kopke Vintage Porto Porto

Description

This Kopke Vintage certainly seems to have been nurtured with a little patience, doesn't it? Those notes of intensely ripe black cherry and raspberry, as Parker so aptly describes, hint at fruit that’s verging on a touch extravagant – particularly considering the generous contribution of Touriga Nacional and the legacy of these old vines. There's an unexpected suggestion of dark chocolate truffle, almost as if the bottle itself held a shared secret. Expect a finish that lingers like a particularly enjoyable conversation, and, according to Parker, one that might just suggest this beauty will be ready to drink well into the 21st century. It’s ideally paired with a robust roast – a perfect accompaniment to coax out every last nuance.
