Chryseia 2015
CRITIC REVIEWS
Steven Spurrier
A great Douro vintage with grapes sourced from Quintas de Roriz, da Perdiz and da Vila Velha. A rich and velvety red showing warm spices and dried herbs on the nose, florality and freshness on the palate, and a long, beautifully lifted finish.
Mark Squires
The 2015 Chryseia is a 65/35 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca aged for 15 months in mostly (80%) new French oak. It comes in at 14.2% alcohol. When last seen, this was not long in bottle, so lets check in. What does this add to the Post Scriptum? Concentration, expressive fruit and structure. The tannins are very ripe, but the concentration of fruit here makes this impressive. It tastes great and the finish is long. Then, it adds refinement, mid-palate finesse and an elegant, fresh feel. This is surprisingly approachable right now, but I anticipate that it will age well for another decade—or two.
