2002 Warre Cavadinha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Brick red colour with a medium rim. Mature, slightly baked fruit on the nose. Sweet entry with soft vanilla and bramble jelly on the palate; soft tannins lurk on the aftertaste before a surprisingly big finish full of cracked pepper and bramble fruit. This is a lovely port, drinking nicely today. 91/100. Drunk 04-Apr-17.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
