2011 Quinta do Vale Meao

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Restrained fruit, showing a little fruit. Sweet fruit on the palate, but also the bitterness that one or two ports from this vintage have shown. Powerful tannins which eventually relent and allow the port to come back into balance. The tannic grip comes back on the aftertaste with a good intensity of flavours. 88-90. Snapshot tasting 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.
