The 2019 Vintage Port is a field blend bottled in June 2021 after about two years in old Portuguese vats. It comes in with 107 grams of residual sugar. The winery calls the centenary old vines of its Quinta das Carvalhas the "backbone" of this bottling, with the rest Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca from the winery's other quintas (Aciprestes and Síbio). This fills the palate nicely enough, but it is a bit soft on opening. That's not to say that there is no energy, and it does tighten on the finish with some aeration. It also seems admirably pure and transparent, with classic flavors. The longer this elegant Porto was open, the more I liked it for its precision and grip on the finish. It does have something to prove in the cellar, but let's lean up on this for the moment. It should be accessible on the younger side, but as with any well-crafted Port, giving it 10 to 15 years of cellaring will only help it.
