2001 Quinta de Vargellas vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Light red colour, 80% opaque. Closed on the nose. Attractive entry, balanced mix of ripe fruit and tannins that are starting to soften but show a great spiciness. There is a lovely fruit persistence on the long finish. This is still quite young, but starting to drink quite well. 88/100. Tasted at the BFT on 24 April 2013.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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