Wine & Soul Pintas Vintage Port 2014
Wine & Soul Pintas Vintage Port 2014 is a well-balanced and complex wine, combined with elegance. Aged in old port casks, this wine contains the historical potential of the region, rejuvenated by the freshness of this current brand. With an intense aroma of fresh fruit, a velvety mouth and firm tannins that give it longevity, it is now considered one of the great Douro Vintages. It is ideal with dessert, dark chocolate, cheese or on its own at the end of a meal.
Tasting Notes: Complex aromas featuring plum and vanilla. Beautifully structured with good acidity, grippy tannins and ripe fruit. - Silver, International Wine Challenge
Vinification wineyards: All grapes previously selected and non de-stemmed were foot trodden in stone mills. The ageing was developed in an old Port cask for 19 months, after which the wine was bottled.
Grape varieties: It’s a 88 years old vineyard with a field blend of more than 40 different indigenous grape varieties.
Winemakers: Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges

The 2014 Pintas Vintage Port, the last of the vertical this issue, is a field blend from very old vines (some 80 years or so) coming in at 120 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is well done in a very difficult vintage. I was surprised at how much I liked it early on, but it probably doesn't have a great future in front of it. It is a bit dry and stern on opening but that seems to be the direction Pintas has been going since the sweet-ish 2003 that led off this vertical (excepting the 2009). It did open after a couple of hours and showed better fruit. The next day, in fact, it was surprisingly round and rather tasty. It has a very reasonable backbone, although not truly serious power. Underneath there may not be much concentration for the long term. It faded a bit with some five hours of air on the first day tasted. True, it was back in form and better the next day, but this won't win prizes for true concentration. All things considered, this should drink pretty well young, but I suspect it will not deliver great rewards if you cellar it a long time. It won't ever be the greatest Pintas Port, but it is a very respectable off-year wine.
