Description and Reviews:
2024 Vintage Port – Burmester
About En Primeur
Offered en primeur, this wine is available to secure now while still maturing at the estate, ahead of its official release. Purchasing at this stage provides early access to a fully declared vintage at a favourable price, with the wine shipped once it is ready for delivery.
In Bond (IB): Wine stored in a bonded warehouse before UK duty and VAT have been paid. These taxes are only payable when the wine is withdrawn, making IB purchases more cash-efficient and ideal for cellaring or trading.
2024 Vintage Port – Burmester
A newly declared Vintage Port from one of the Douro’s most historic houses, the 2024 release forms part of a fully declared vintage, marking a significant year for the region and highlighting the classic style for which Burmester is renowned.
Tasting Note
Deep in colour with an intense and expressive nose of blackberry, blackcurrant and plum, lifted by floral notes and hints of spice. The palate is rich and structured, with concentrated dark fruit supported by firm, well-defined tannins and fresh acidity. Layers of cassis, liquorice and subtle chocolate notes lead into a long, powerful and persistent finish.
Vintage
The 2024 vintage has been widely declared across the Douro, confirming it as a year of real quality and balance. Favourable growing conditions allowed for excellent ripening while preserving freshness, resulting in wines with classic structure, depth and ageing potential. Fully declared vintages remain relatively rare, adding to the collectability and long-term appeal of this release.
Serving
Best served at 16–18°C. While enjoyable in youth with careful decanting, this wine is built for extended cellaring and will reward patience over the coming decades.
Summary
A powerful and structured Vintage Port from a fully declared year, offering depth, balance and excellent ageing potential. An outstanding choice for collectors or as a 2024 anniversary wine designed to evolve over time.
Condition Report:
This wine is offered En Primeur, meaning you are purchasing it early, before it is released for general sale. By securing your allocation now, you guarantee access to the vintage, with delivery at a later date once the wine has been bottled and shipped to the UK.
The price shown is In Bond, which means it excludes UK alcohol duty and VAT. These taxes will become payable when the wine is withdrawn from bond, or if it is delivered for home consumption.
Please note that we do not offer in-bond storage. You will need to have an approved bonded storage facility in place, and the wine will be transferred to your nominated account upon arrival (transfer fees apply).
En Primeur wines are typically intended for long-term ageing and may not be ready for immediate drinking upon arrival.
