1996 Quevedo Colheita

[benread]

This bottle was acquired directly from the Qevedo winery in May 2010 and consumed at this event last week. It was a dark tawny brown/red colour, but perfectly clear. Given I made no notes, it is difficult to be precise a week later, but I wanted to record that it was voted port of the night against some tough competition. A young colheita, but well worth seeking out if this is your style of wines.

As an aside, one of the friends with me also bought a bottle of this at the winery, and ended up consuming it only a day later, with equal levels of enjoyment I understand!

Thanks for the note!

This bottle has been popping up at various stores in the States, and I'm very pleased to see Oscar's progress as Quevedo begins to establish a brand for itself as a value port producer to be reckoned with.

Have a bit of this now holding for me outside Chicago. Will make my next trip back to the States all the more enjoyable.
