Description
Wine Makers Notes Offley 2018 has deep colour, almost opaque. Aromas of good intensity and complexity, with floral and balsamic notes together with heather, resin, red berries and a light spice. On the palate it has good volume, lively acidity, firm tannins, red berries and black fruits, with a very long, harmonious finish.
Serving Tips & Storage When mature this port will need to be decanted to remove sediment. Serve at room temperature on its own or with steak and blue cheese sauce or vintage mature blue cheeses such as stilton Cashel Blue, Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Saint Augur Blue. Vintage port is also good with chocolate - a flattering accompaniment to top quality hand-made chocolates and artisan chocolate bars.
Please store on its side in a cool environment away from heat and light. Drink from 2025-2045+.

***92-94 Points -Wine Advocate Mark Squires Dec 2020***
The 2018 Ferreira Vintage Port is a blend of 55% Touriga Nacional, 35% Touriga Franca and 10% Tinta Roriz coming in with 103 grams of residual sugar. Intense and powerful, this beautifully structured Porto is full of flavor, but the structure is very much in control just now. The tannins are up front and rather astringent. The concentration is exceptional, however, and this certainly proved that some two days later. It is a big, big Porto from this brand. The fruit is expressive and coats the palate. This has a long way to go, and it is going to need some cellaring. It looks to be a fine offering.
