A distinguished, dense and concentrated beauty with expressive blueberry and bramble characters. Flirtatious violet and rose emerge in the middle with a fine line of acidity contributing freshness and appeal. The tannins are ripe and fine, the fruit pure and delicious. Long finish built around dark chocolate tannins. Really beautiful. Blend : 35% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 25% Vinha Velha
Takes a seductive tack, with velvety waves of dark plum, boysenberry and açaí berry fruit, infused with ganache, black licorice and alder.
The 2019 Vintage Port Quinta do Seixo is a blend of 35% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 25% from a field blend and Sousão for the rest. It was bottled in April 2021 with 100 grams of residual sugar. This has a firm finish to go with its sweet edge and classic flavors. The blue fruits are in charge, but they are laced with herbs and have nuances of some cistus on the nose. The controlled power makes this easy to approach now, but it has the wherewithal to hold and age well too. It expanded and developed when tasted again the next day. It tightened a little too. This is lovely in most respects. The question now is how much it might improve and develop along the way. I doubt it will be the best-aging Port, but it will certainly hold a reasonable time, maybe more than indicated. Best after 2027.
