Composed of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, the 2016 Ferreira Vintage Port is a total knockout. Displaying an opaque glass-staining inky color, this stunning Port instantly begins to impress with profound aromatics of blackberry reduction, blueberry compote and mission figs along with florals and raisins underlined by a touch of sweet spices and a wet stone character rounding out the seductive nuances. This is rich, dense and deeply layered, with a gorgeous voluptuous texture and core of remarkably concentrated ultra-ripe black fruits and violets which envelop the palate. While this shows incredible power and intensity, there is also a wonderful sense of balance and poise. Overall this is a total hedonistic delight, and although utterly delicious now, it will also have a long brilliant future ahead for many years to come.
