    • Description

    From a fine harvest, the 2005 Burmester Vintage Port is considered to have the potential for long aging and development.

    Tasting Notes
    Deep ruby with garnet highlights characteristic of vintage ports that have developed with age. Rich and intense bouquet, with aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, plums, and ripe dark fruits. You might also notice floral hints, like violets, and notes of spices such as cloves or cinnamon. Full-bodied on the palate with structured tannins and flavours of ripe dark fruits combined with dark chocolate, licorice, and a subtle spicy background. As the port ages, you may find a more complex layer of flavours like tobacco, leather, and nuts. Long and smooth finish, with lingering fruit sweetness balanced by a fresh acidity and fine tannins, which ensure that it ages well over the years. Drink now- 2035+.

    Serving and Food pairing
    Vintage Ports are best decanted and served slightly below modern room temperature: 16° to 18° C. Pair it with chocolate-rich desserts – such as chocolate fondant with redcurrant coulis or dark chocolate mousse. Goes very well with an intense-flavoured cheeses, like Queijo da Serra, or blue cheeses (Stilton, Roquefort).

    How to store your Vintage Port
    Vintage Port, like all fine wines, prefers to remain undisturbed, lying on its side in a dark and at least slightly humid place at a stable temperature of between 10°C and 14°C to mature properly.
