2005 Pintas vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Crushed green leaves on the nose, together with plenty of super-ripe grapes. Very soft and fruit forward; tannins are soft but structural and acidity levels are high. The finish is firm and long and dominated by the chcoclate from the tannins but with a nice cherry tone. 87-89. Drunk 27 June 2009.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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