PORTUGAL
Now in its fifth generation, the British-Portuguese Symington dynasty is one of the few names in the Douro region synonymous with the highest quality port wine. The family banner unites venerable houses such as Dow's, Graham's and Warre's – a heritage that comes with a responsibility. But new paths are also being taken, for example in the joint venture with French Bordeaux legend Bruno Prats, who produces a top-class international wine at Quinta da Roriz with his Chryseia.

Usually overlooked vintage that can surprise you.
Tasting date 17 Feb 2024 Overall score 92 Solid cork medium sediment (needs filtering). Deep cherry red color. Wonder aroma of black currant, dark cherries and blackberries with a light earthy floral. On the hard palate black currant, orange peel and spices. It quickly leaves the hard palate slightly dry. The soft palate is filled with blackberry and cherry that really open up with a light acidic bite. On the tip of the tongue you can really taste the black currant on the tip of the tongue, along with a vanilla spice and caramel. The middle of the tongue transitions to pipe tobacco and dark chocolate. The back of the tongue has a rich tobacco flavor. The finish is short and dry, yet fulfilling. I normally overlook 1980, however I may have to go back and see what else I have been missing.
