Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port 2013 Oporto Douro 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Mark Squires: The 2013 Guimaraens Vintage Port is a blend from
three Quintas (Panascal, Cruzeiro and Santo Antonio). It comes in
at 101 grams per liter of residual sugar. Bottled at the end of
June 2015, this 2013 was a bit too sedate and understated after the
initial aeration, but it was impressive in its ability to pull
itself together, ultimately fleshing out, putting on weight and
seeming far lusher and richer. It has lovely fruit and an intensely
flavorful finish together with fine structure. It became
surprisingly intense on the finish as it held, too, a pattern that
was repeated the next day. That said, it is probably not quite as
concentrated as it sometimes appeared on first taste. It may drink
rather well on the younger side, but I'm always going to recommend
holding them a bit to allow them to settle down, and even more
importantly, acquire some complexity. For better results, come back
in ten years or so.
