2018 Offley Vintage Port
A very black ink color with a soft black fruit nose. A very bright red berry fruit would eventually give way to a stone fruit finish. This seemed to have a good measure of acidity which made it very enjoyable at this young stage. This was a bit shy until the second day when the fruit balanced better with the tannins and acidity. I loved the brightness this Port showed. Of the three Vintage Ports from Sogrape this one seemed to be more of a VP for mid-term cellaring, a couple of decades and this should enter it’s prime drinking window. That said, and even though not the highest scoring of the three VP’s, I enjoyed this the most for drinking today.
