2011 Barao de Vilar

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Sour, grapefruit-like nose with sour cherries also showing strongly on the palate. A sour / bitter presence from the fruit mellows slightly with patience on the palate, and eventually sits alongside some powerful tannins.The finish is long and full of cedar-wood. 90-92.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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