Expert's Selection: Tobias Herrmann

Port Wine

Always stored properly in cellar in perfect conditions.

The finish is long and jam-packed with delicious fruit, while the purity of that fruit is remarkable. Between its backbone and the freshness of the year, it should age well. Few will refuse a second glass of this debonair Porto at the moment, but it has a significant upside in the cellar. The fashionable trend these days is to suggest drinking Vintage Port younger and younger, but many will be happier with this around 2030-2035 or so. Admittedly, it is wonderfully delicious now. Drink 2027 – 2065.”
Mark Squires, The Wine Advocate

2015 Vintage “Silval” from Quinta do Noval is a particularly open and accessible style of Vintage Port, with the accent on exuberance of fruit.

Made for lovers of Vintage Port who do not want to wait too long, it can be enjoyed when young and very fruity. This is a serious Vintage Port which will also repay years of cellar ageing.

Critics have scored this wine 93 points.
