Description
The Maynard 2016 Vintage Port is a beautiful balanced Port, Medium red. Smoky, high-toned aromas of cassis, marzipan and maple syrup. Smooth, fat and super ripe, with a generous texture and ample fruit.
As the wine ages it softens and slowly sheds its deep dark colour, gaining in structure and complexity. As Vintage Port throws a natural "crust or sediment in the bottle, it should be stood upright for 24 hours and decanted carefully before serving.

Reviews
A beautifully balanced, rich wine, this has great tannins, a dense, firm texture and luscious blackberry fruits. It shows the structure of the vintage while also bringing a fresher element. Jammy but never cloying, this is an impressive wine for the long term. Drink from 2029. Roger Voss
The 2016 Vintage Port Maynard's Organic is a blend of 45% Tinta Roriz, 40% Touriga Franca and 15% of Touriga Nacional aged in old wooden vats for two years. It comes in with 133 grams of residual sugar. Nicely balanced, this has elegance, focus, moderate concentration and a fair bit of power on the back end. The firm and fresh finish is laced with some plums and herbs. This is very nicely done. Its structure could give it the chance to age very well too. Although nowhere near ready today, it is not too hard to drink even now, though. 93 Points(Mark Squires) Wine Advocate
