1995 Burmester Vintage Port

The 1995 Burmester Vintage Port exemplifies the timeless craftsmanship of Burmester, one of Portugal’s most esteemed Port producers. Renowned for its traditional approach and elegant style, Burmester combines rich fruit, structure, and exceptional aging potential in this classic fortified wine.

Tasting NotesThis vintage displays a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections, a testament to its aging. On the nose, aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and plums mingle with dried fruits, cocoa, spices, and a subtle hint of licorice. The palate is full-bodied and luxurious, delivering layers of ripe dark fruits, velvety chocolate, and a touch of black pepper. Balanced sweetness, well-integrated acidity, and a long, smooth finish complete this extraordinary wine.

Serving and Food PairingFor the best experience, decant this vintage Port and serve slightly below modern room temperature (16° to 18°C). It pairs beautifully with chocolate-rich desserts, such as chocolate fondant with redcurrant coulis or dark chocolate mousse. It is also an excellent companion to blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, where its sweetness complements the creamy, tangy profile of the cheese.

How to store your Vintage PortVintage Port, like all fine wines, prefers to remain undisturbed, lying on its side in a dark and at least slightly humid place at a stable temperature of between 10°C and 14°C to mature properly.
