THE WINE ADVOCATE Rating (93 - 95) - Drink Date 2026 - 2067
"The 2017 Vintage Port, set to be bottled in about two weeks but the final blend, is a field blend coming in at 108 grams of residual sugar. A blend of Quinta da Gricha and other properties the producer owns, it was aged for two years in used vats. On opening, this immediately shows more depth than its Gricha sibling, and more pop on the finish. The flavors are not quite as lifted, but it's close. Some air brings out a little more power and a lusher feel. A step up on the Gricha in this vintage, this is admirable for its greater firmness and length. It, too, will be approachable young, but it will be more likely to benefit from some cellaring. Not yet imported, this runs around 75 euros in Portugal." - Mark Squires, 2019
