@Big_Fortified_Tasting has traditionally been the place to tasting newly released Port. New learning this year: at home, so that it can be done whilst my work computer beeps at me, and whilst being reminded of domestic duties.
Quinta do Portal Vintage Port 2018: 100% opaque dark purple, and red rim. Nose dominated by red grape. Palate too, maybe a slight touch of aniseed, mid weight, smooth and delicious. There's good grip and structure, too. If this were to walkabout BFT then maybe I would have to ‘retaste’ it, just for the pleasure of immediate drinking. www.quintadoportal.com/en/
