Decanter

A distinguished, dense and concentrated beauty with expressive blueberry and bramble characters. Flirtatious violet and rose emerge in the middle with a fine line of acidity contributing freshness and appeal. The tannins are ripe and fine, the fruit pure and delicious. Long finish built around dark chocolate tannins. Really beautiful.

Wine Enthusiast

The large Quinta do Seixo on the south bank of the Douro has produced a perfumed wine. Rich in ripe berry flavors and showing poise between structure and dense fruit, it is sure to age well. Drink from 2030.

Wine Spectator

This takes a seductive tack, with velvety textured waves of dark plum, boysenberry and açaí berry fruit rolling through, infused with ganache, melted black licorice and alder accents. The long finish has nice flow. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Sousão. Best from 2040 through 2060. 1,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.

The 2019 Vintage Port Quinta do Seixo is a blend of 35% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 25% from a field blend and Sousão for the rest. It was bottled in April 2021 with 100 grams of residual sugar. This has a firm finish to go with its sweet edge and classic flavors. The blue fruits are in charge, but they are laced with herbs and have nuances of some cistus on the nose. The controlled power makes this easy to approach now, but it has the wherewithal to hold and age well too. It expanded and developed when tasted again the next day. It tightened a little too. This is lovely in most respects. The question now is how much it might improve and develop along the way. I doubt it will be the best-aging Port, but it will certainly hold a reasonable time, maybe more than indicated.

The array of age-indicated Tawnies here leads to the presentation of the new 50-Year category. It's worth noting, though, that the last time that I saw the entire array of Sandeman Tawnies, I was a little underwhelmed. For whatever reason—new blends, new releases, no slip-ups in shipping, etc.—these mostly showed better, at least as a group, this time around. The sweet spots here are at the 20 and 30 Year levels, where you get fine quality and decent prices. The 40 Year and 50 Year Tawnies were wines I liked better, but the prices escalated far more quickly than the quality levels. To be sure, that's not unusual as rarity kicks in and causes price spikes, but still.

James Suckling

Rich and concentrated character with toasted almonds, baking spices, overturned earth and a backbone of ripe black cherries and cassis. Broad and opulent, with a full to medium body and waves of fine tannins building on the plate. Attractive concentration and length with nutty undertones in the finish
