Description

Sandeman Quinta do Seixo Vintage Port 2013 is an impressive wine from the Cima Corgo sub-region, showcasing the rich heritage of the estate. It presents a deep purple, almost opaque colour. Jancis Robinson awards it 17.5 points, praising its spirited and fragrant profile, characterized by vibrant aromas of dark fruits like cherries, raspberries, and plums, alongside hints of pepper and nutmeg. The palate is robust with fleshy tannins and balanced acidity, delivering layered flavours of ripe red fruit. Its structure is taut yet smooth, culminating in a long, characterful finish. This Port reflects the use of aged vines and traditional winemaking methods, making it a delightful choice for immediate enjoyment or extended aging. (120)

JANCIS ROBINSON 17.5 points
Spirity, aromatic and super youthful fruit with pert, fleshy tannin. Very concentrated indeed – perhaps thanks to their use of 100 year old vines as part of the blend. Long and succulent with beautiful fragrance. (RH)
