Pintas 5 G Port
97 pts Wine Spectator - The aroma and palate is remarkably fresh. The old wood is there and a hint of moist sawdust, but never it becomes negative, au contraire, it adds dimensions. Sweet liquorice, pipe tobacco, dried figs and a fascinating green walnut scent. The wine is unfolding gracefully in the glass. A slight floral scent appears followed by dried orange peel. And then it appears; the one that elicits goose bumps; the newly rained dusty gravel road on a summer! It’s beautiful; ethereal. As if the wine were weightless. The palate is viscous, almost creamy, packed with flavour and yet the first thing that comes to mind is elegance. Oriental spices, nutmeg, a floral note, smoky oak and a fudge like taste. The texture is gorgeous and in the long finale there’s the pipe tobacco, the orange and marzipan.

Winemaking:
5G stands for five generations and you’ve probably already figured it out; it’s an old wine, very old. The wine comes from three casks at the Borges family estate Quinta da Manoella – and all are more than 100 years old, actually about 120 years old. But since the documentation of the wines aren’t complete, it can’t be sold as a Colheita, that is marked with a vintage. Hence the name 5G since Jorge is the fifth generation producing this wine which previously only were enjoyed at special family occasions. Not more than 300 bottles are available on the market.

Grape Varieties:
Old Vines
