Waitrose No1 Symington Crusted Port 75cl 2015 2015
Portugal, Douro Valley
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão
Description
Premier quality ports from two to three different vintages are blended and aged in the bottle for at least three years, creating a superb, full-bodied wine with firm tannins but a voluptuous silky texture. Very drinkable now, it will become even better with age.
Crusted port takes its name from the sediment that forms as it ages, and like vintage port, it requires decanting.
