NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Krohn Vintage Port is a renowned fortified wine that originates from Portugal's Douro Valley.This particular vintage is known for its exceptional quality and aging potential. On the nose, expect intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by hints of dark chocolate and spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a luscious texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of black cherry, blackcurrant, and licorice dominate, with a touch of smokiness and a long, lingering finish. Krohn Vintage Port is best enjoyed after several years of bottle aging to allow its complex flavors to fully develop. It pairs wonderfully with rich desserts, such as chocolate cake or blue cheese.

ORIGINS
Winery: Krohn
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
