93-95 Mark Squires - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2020 Vintage Port, set to be bottled in a couple of weeks, is the final blend and out of cask. It is a field blend coming in at 103 grams of residual sugar and was aged for 24 months in large oak vats. A bit herbal and also showing some eucalyptus, this is aromatic and well structured. Lean but powerful, this shows finesse and flavor, with a serious backbone. It needs some aging, and it should age well. This has a higher upside than the Gricha, its sibling in this report. That will become clearer as the years go by, I suspect, but they are both among the more interesting 2020s I have seen.
