Description
2018 Palmer Late Bottled Vintage Port (Douro, Portugal)
A classic LBV from the Van Zeller family (Barão de Vilar) under the Palmer label—single-harvest, traditionally foot-trod and matured in large casks before bottling unfiltered for depth and definition. In the glass it’s deep purple-garnet. The nose is vibrant: blackberry and black cherry conserve, cassis and violet, with cocoa, liquorice, cracked pepper and a subtle eucalyptus lift.
The palate is plush yet poised. Sweet dark-berry fruit and kirsch sit over lively acidity and firm but civilised tannins; cocoa nib, clove and graphite notes add complexity. It finishes long and mouthcoating with lingering blackberry, dark chocolate and pepper spice.
Serve 14–16 °C in a Port glass. Decanting is advisable (unfiltered style) to remove a light crust and open the aromatics.
Food pairing Blue cheeses (Stilton), dark chocolate torte, walnut tart; also excellent with roasted nuts or simply as a contemplative digestif.
Drink window Drinking beautifully now for primary fruit; will improve and gain savoury complexity over 5–10 years. After opening, enjoy over 3–5 days if stoppered and kept cool/dark.
