The 2019 Quinta do Passadouro Vintage Port comes from Pinhão on schist soils, undergoing 18 months maturation in wooden casks and just slightly less residual sugar (96gm/l) than the Noval and Noval Naçional. It has a rich and quite decadent bouquet with black plum, Christmas cake, marmalade and a touch of eau-de-vie. The palate is medium-bodied with a light sprinkling of white pepper, black cherries and boysenberry jam. There is a crisp line of acidity here and fine precision. It’s a little heady but not excessive. Excellent. (Drink between 2029-2045)
