The 2017 vintage produced exceptional ports in the Douro. It was a dry year with compact bunches of excellent quality berries and extremely low yields. The advanced growing season resulted in our earliest ever recorded harvest start date. Nothing less than a spectacular year for Vintage Port would have justified the first ‘back-to-back’ general declaration for the Symington family since we first became port producers in 1882.
"Loads of wet earth and grape aromas with hints of stems. Old vine aromas of black and moss. Full-bodied sweet and structured with a big kick at the end. Very impressive. Exceptional layers of fruit and energy. A stronger and more muscular Warre."
– James Suckling
"Lush and inviting in feel, with a beautifully creamy texture that lets plum sauce, blueberry reduction and raspberry pâte de fruit flavors glide along effortlessly. Notes of violet, anise and black tea are beguiling in the background before melding seamlessly on the finish. This shimmers with fruit, balanced by depth and spine. Best from 2035 through 2055"
