In spite of the unusual and extreme climatic conditions of the year, the end result is of an excellent quality. The Port wines are exceptional, with excellent structure, very intense bright fruit, and aromatically very expressive.

A more heady, intense effort, the 2016 Late Bottled Vintage Port offers up a deep ruby/purple hue to go with classic Port notes of candied plums, cigar box, incense, orange liqueur, and exotic spices on the nose. These carry to a medium to full-bodied Port with solid underlying structure and solid length on the finish. While there's tons to love here, the alcohol slightly overwhelms this more mid-weight effort and a touch more density and concentration would go a long way toward balancing this beauty out, but this is nitpicking. This is a spicy, complex, elegant LBV to drink over the coming decade.
