2013 Quinta da Gaivosa

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A deep red / purple colour. Rather a surprise, the nose smelt slightly stewed, fruity but vaguely unattractive. The entry, however, was light and clean with plenty of fruit but also with the odd stewed tone lurking under the fruit. The finish was clean and pleasant with none of the odd tones. Rather a peculiar port. 86/100. Drunk 04-Apr-17.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
