Vinha Velha Vinha Vertical Vintage box set may well be the most exclusive and collectible of all Vintage Ports. Only eight Vinha Velha vintage ports have been released to date. The Vertical Vintage box set included 5 of the most valuable vintage(1995, 1997,2000, 2004,2007)from the first Vargellas Vinha Velha ever made to the latest vintage.

The character of the Vargellas Vinha Velha Vintage Ports is unique and their interest to collectors lies, not only in their superb quality and rarity, but also in the fact that they represent a piece of Port history, the expression of an ancient terroir whose characteristics are unlikely ever to be exactly reproduced.


Limited allocation

Vintage 1995 - Deep ruby-brick with some development on the rim. A multi-dimensional wine, evolving now from youth to maturity. Jammy fruit, herbal fragrances and a powerful violet scent. Palate quite lean but with typical Vargellas backbone. Vintage 2007 - Deep inky colour with magenta rim. Intense, pungent nose of black fruit, dark chocolate and liquorice with great depth and concentration. Layers of flavour assail the senses as the rich dark berry, ripe black plum, blueberry and luscious bitter chocolate almost overwhelm the palate. The tannins are lean, sinewy and perfectly integrated. The wine is clearly of enormous structure, but also so finely balanced the lasting impression is of a wine with great elegance and finesse.

Vintage 2007 - This is the Port of the vintage. Blackberry and cassis on the nose. Very perfumed and fruity. Some mineral and wet earth underneath. Full-bodied, medium-sweet and very chewy, with fabulous tannins and a big mouthfeel. Racy and powerful.

Vintage 2000 - Full-bodied, relative to this elegant vertical, this also is one of the most delicious in the group, lush, sexy and irresistible. There are touches of chocolate and a long finish. It is just a bit more mature than the 1997, but certainly far, far more expressive while still showing impeccable balance. It is still youthful enough to tighten with air, though. There is brilliant structure to go with brilliant fruit. A couple of hours after being poured, it was better than my first taste. This was one of my favorites, one of the greats of this vertical. The only argument here that anyone can have is how great it is. Right at the moment, I'm thinking "pretty great." This is also a good time to approach it. It has a long life ahead, but it is sexy and succulent now.

Vintage 2004 - Bottled in July 2006, this wine remains deliciously open, showcasing floral, violet scents intertwined with rich layers of plum and chocolate. Although the firm structure is evident, there’s more than adequate fruit for balance. A lovely combination of power and elegance.
