A wet 1999 harvest was followed by a cold and dry winter with almost no rain. April and May were very wet, June and July very dry and the first half of August extremely hot. Harvest started on 20 September. The resulting wines were of great class and full of intense colours and very attractive aromas. Parker points: 98. Origin: Portugal, Douro.

Storage and serving: This Vintage must be decanted. Once opened it is best enjoyed on the same day. Serve slightly chilled (16 to 18ºC). Quantity: 750 ml. What can you taste? Rich magenta colour. Powerful intense black fruit and cherry aromas with lovely fragrant aromatic notes. On the palate this wine is in perfect harmony with beautifully balanced fruit and tannins. Rich, elegant, delicious black fruit flavours. Enormous concentration with that attractive fragrant quality again. Long finish. Very stylish. Food & spice: Lovely with a mature blue cheese such as Stilton. The soft buttery texture, mild character and tingling of the cheese are perfectly matched by the powerful majestic flavours of the Vintage Port.
