- 2017 Agri-Roncão DR Port Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (10/1/2022)
This wine contains 80% Touriga Franca grapes. This wine is opaque, and inky purple in color. There are primary dark fruits with black plum, black currant, and cassis on the nose, along with an interesting breakfast waffle note. I wonder if this might be a by-product of the yeast. The entry is intense and the mouthfeel expands with concentrated blackberry and blue fruit. While the fruit is mouth-puckering, the tannins are in balance and make this drink like a gob-smacking glass of goodness. This is a big, massive wine with tremendous structure that will carry this wine a long way age-wise. (96 pts.)
