NV Quinta do Portal White (Fine White)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Pale golden yellow. Served cold so very subdued on the nose, but showing a little fresh pear. Sweet pear on entry, bringing with it delicate flower perfume flavours and hints of tannins. Lots of pear shows on the late palate, but this port is overwhelmingly sweet. 80/100. 24-May-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!
