Quinta De Valle Longo Vintage Porto

Description

This Quinta de Valle Longo Vintage certainly appears to have been resting quietly, now awakening with a frankly rather imposing violet hue. It’s a full-bodied wine, yet remarkably smooth – possessing an elegance that suggests time has been a generous benefactor. We’re greeted with notes of dried figs and spice, beautifully accentuated by a floral element – undoubtedly from the Touriga Nacional – alongside a mineral depth reflecting the character of the Douro’s terroir. A fantastic match with a good Bayas sausage, perhaps?
