1987 Warre Cavadinha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

From half bottle. Dark and attractive red-mahogany. Gentle nose of sweet black cherry and sage. Modest and gentle entry, light fruit and a bit of herbaceous bite. Light-bodied. Peppery aftertaste and hot finish of good length. Decent drinking port. 86/100. Drunk 08-Oct-14. Decanted 24 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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