Martinez is a historic name in the world of port. This 1991 Vintage Port offers a different perspective on the Douro than the well-known vintages of 1985 and 1994. It is precisely a less frequently discussed vintage that can appeal to enthusiasts who wish to compare the development of older ports.
1991 was a year in which several port houses released a Vintage. The steep vineyards of the Douro vary greatly in elevation, location, and sun exposure. That makes every vintage different. A Vintage Port spends only a relatively short time in casks and is then bottled. The wine then continues to develop in the bottle for many years. The youthful notes of black fruits can gradually evolve into dried fruits and spices. A 1991 Martinez is now a mature wine, but it’s impossible to predict exactly how it will taste without opening the bottle. A consistent storage temperature and a sound cork remain crucial.
Notes of dried plums, figs, cocoa, and subtle spiciness may emerge. The tannins may have softened, and the color may show slight evolution. The actual aromas depend heavily on how the wine has been stored.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. If using an older bottle, stand it upright beforehand and decant it carefully to separate any sediment. Pair with blue cheese or dark chocolate, or taste the wine on its own to discover the character of the vintage.
