2003 Quinta de Santa Eufemia Colheita

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Tasted at the Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Brick red, wide rim. Unpleasant rubber bands nose, not attractive. Nice texture on the palate, plenty of fruit backed by a big dose of acidity. Lovely slightly caramelised mid-palate but still with lots of the cherry fruit showing. Caramelised aftertaste and long finish. Nice showing. 88/100. Drunk 24 Jun 2017.
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!
