Delaforce Vintage Port 2000

Delaforce Vintage Port 2000 - 90 points from Robert Parker

With over 170 years of experience in the world of port, Delaforce is one of the most recognized producers. They have a strong presence in export markets such as Scandinavia, Germany and Russia, and have even supplied port to the Portuguese royal family.

Delaforce is famous for their sophisticated Vintage Ports, known for their harmonious and aromatic character. These wines are made from the finest grapes from carefully selected vineyards in the Douro Valley, Portugal.

This port wine is made from the Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca grape varieties. It presents itself with a deep red, almost purple hue, an intense aroma of ripe black fruits, and a well-balanced taste with hints of blackberry and chocolate. It has a suitable amount of tannins and a persistent aftertaste.

Perfect with desserts and cheeses. Due to the age of the wine, sediment may occur, so it is recommended to leave the bottle upright for 48 hours before opening and decant carefully. Ready to serve 2-3 hours after decanting and should be enjoyed within 24 hours.

Vintage Port is ready to drink after 4-5 years, but reaches its full potential after 15-20 years.
