2015 Quinta do Vale Dona Maria

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

6,000 bottles produced. Deep red colour with a narrow rim. Fresh on the nose bringing ripe purple plums and early Autumn mornings. Smooth entry, with ripe and sweet fruit, opulent but slightly haughty. Fine gentle tannins grip under the fruit. A very rich and complete mouthful, nicely balanced and drinking beautifully while young. Another good example of the "pretty" vintage. 89-91/100. 06-Nov-17.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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