When some of these barrels made the return journey, the East India Company officials noticed that the sherry had improved greatly after its long journey, no doubt due to the time it had spent maturing in barrel, soaking up the high temperatures of the East Indies and interacting with the sea air.

The palate has plenty of grip and concentration with a long, generous and velvety finish. The 2018 growing season was a rollercoaster, consisting of a winter drought, a deluge in spring and heatwaves through the final ripening period. The Touriga Nacional benefited from the added soil moisture and delivered the estate’s signature eucalyptus and mint notes. The late-ripening Touriga Franca from the estate’s higher-lying vineyards, thrived in the hot harvest days and contributed ripe black fruit flavours, while the Sousão delivered a wonderful freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eThis fine Port is balanced between plenty of firm, ageworthy tannins and great fruits.

Feisty, but real purity and freshness. Black elderberry fruit giving it a medicinal bitterness which just serves to make the wine even more exciting. The tannins have power but are already beautifully melded. It's so wrong to be drinking this now but it is so vibrant and full of energy that you could just about get away with it.
