Ramos Pinto Porto Vintage 1983 750ml

Winter was dry and spring wet. Flowering was poor in many of the vineyards. 1983 was unusually cold, even in August. September was warm. The harvest was late and perfect. Some winemakers did not declare the vintage because they chose to declare the previous year, although 1983 is considered a better year by several wine connoisseurs. Rich in tannins and very aromatic, it has great ageing potential. Mature now and still retaining the intense colour of this top vintage showing brick tint on the rim. An attractive aroma combining mature spice notes with brightness. Full bodied and silky textured still showing some luscious fruitiness with a fine tannic structure and fresh acidity that will support many more years. Drink now- 2023.
