    Exclusive to Vintage Wine & Port, the Burmester 2016 Vintage Port is an excellent choice for collectors, connoisseurs, and those looking for a wine to enjoy over a special occasion. Its combination of power, finesse, and aging potential makes it a worthy investment or a luxurious addition to any wine lover’s portfolio.

    Tasting Notes
    Deep ruby colour. Pronounced aromas of red fruit, black currants, cassis, dark chocolate, rock-rose and light peppermint notes. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, this port offers layers of ripe fruits balanced by a firm structure of tannins and a long, powerful finish. Drink from 2024-2045+

    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).

The company is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, across the Douro River from Porto, and is known for its range of Port wines, including Tawny, Ruby, Vintage, and Colheita Ports. Burmester Ports are highly regarded for their quality and consistency, and the company has a reputation for producing some of the finest Ports in the Douro region. They are particularly known for their Colheita Ports, which are single-vintage Tawny Ports aged in oak barrels for an extended period before being bottled.

    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.

    Ripe black fruits shine through the rich tannins of this perfumed wine. It has a fine juicy character, balanced with the generous tannins and acidity. This is a full-bore wine, likely to be ready to drink from 2028. Roger Voss

    Cask sample. First bottle very slightly corked, I think, but the second one more than makes up for it. Deeply coloured like elderberry juice. More subtle than some 2016s and with a delicate floral character entwined with ripe, black hedgerow fruit. This has quite a different structure compared with the Barros, Kopke and Calem 2016s tasted alongside. The tannins are very fine and dry, the aroma of subtle black fruit and 70% dark chocolate. This has real finesse and a lovely bitter-sweet flavour on the long finish. Excellent harmony already but full of promise. I love the long dry finish. (JH)
