It was aged for 19 months in large, used French casks and comes in at 14.4% alcohol. This has been previously seen, but it is now in the marketplace. Where the 2015 sometimes seemed thin, even though it was anything but, this adds a layer of depth.\u003cstrong\u003e It just feels fuller in the mouth.\u003c\/strong\u003e As I said last time around, \u003cstrong\u003ethis is a more complete wine than the 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e, also reevaluated this issue. With an extra year in the bottle, they have separated a little more, the perceptible balance at least making this \u003cstrong\u003efeel a little richer, as noted previously.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThey both have fine structure. This can certainly age well too. You can approach this now, but another year in the cellar would help it along.\u003c\/strong\u003e There were 7,300 bottles produced (the plan is to increase to around 30,000 in a few years).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-gmCRdq bIZSnO\"\u003eOne of Douro's small, fanatical and most exceptional producers, Fojo has finally issued an affordable and more accessible wine (called \"Quinta do Fojo\"). Of course, it is still a wine from owner Margarida Borges, and \u003cstrong\u003eshe does not do things halfway\u003c\/strong\u003e.
