    • Description

    The 2020 vintage in the Douro Valley was marked by high-quality grape harvests, resulting in some standout wines like this Burmester 2020 Vintage Port. This is a great option for collectors or anyone looking for a premium Port enjoy now or age for a further 30-40+ years.

    Tasting Notes
    Deep, purple-black colour, indicating the youth and intensity of the wine. The nose is bursting with rich, ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by notes of violet and subtle hints of spice and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and powerful palate, with concentrated flavours of dark berries, cassis, and chocolate. The wine is structured with firm tannins and a bright acidity that balances the richness. Expect a long, evolving finish with layers of fruit and spice. Drink from 2028-2055+

    Serving and Food pairing
    Vintage Ports are best decanted and served slightly below modern room temperature: 16° to 18° C. Pair it with chocolate-rich desserts – such as chocolate fondant with redcurrant coulis or dark chocolate mousse. Goes very well with an intense-flavoured cheeses, like Queijo da Serra, or blue cheeses (Stilton, Roquefort).
