Burmester Vintage Port 2000

€ 59.00

2000 was a really good vintage in the Douro, and looks likely to be the best vintage since 1994 Port. Yields were lower than in 1997, and this has resulted in good concentration in many of the wines.

Store & Serve

Unopened and well stored, your Vintage Port wine can be kept for years. Store horizontally, at a constant temperature of 15 ° C away from intense direct light. Vintage port wines aged 50 to 60 years are no exception. Since this wine is still maturing in the bottle, sediment can form over time, which means that one has to decant the wine before consumption, so when you approach the bottom of the bottle, pour carefully . After decanting, the wine will quickly reach its peak and is best consumed during the day.

Drink between 16ºC - 18ºC. Drinkable from 2016 to 2034
