Description

The Delaforce Vintage Port 2017 has received strong praise from wine critics:

Wine Spectator awarded it an impressive 94 points, describing it as “bursting with gutsy red and black currant, fig, and boysenberry compote flavors, infused with notes of black tea, anise, and wood smoke.” The review highlighted a “brambly finish” and recommended enjoying this wine between 2035 and 2060 to fully appreciate its depth and complexity.

Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate gave it 91 points, noting the port’s “serious power and fine focus” and a “more brooding demeanor.” The Advocate emphasized its “good concentration” and suggested that it will benefit from additional aging to reach its full potential.

This vintage is distinguished by its deep, almost black color and intense flavors of blackcurrant and dark red berries. With a medium body, lively citrus accents, and excellent acidity balanced by soft tannins, it offers a fresh and appetizing profile.

For the best experience, store the wine horizontally at a constant temperature around 15ºC and serve between 15ºC and 18ºC. It pairs beautifully with blue cheese, aged cheddar, nuts, and chocolate desserts.

With its robust structure and depth, the Delaforce Vintage Port 2017 is an ideal candidate for long-term aging, allowing its flavors to further develop and mature over time.
