2009 Quevedo Sample Tinto Cao

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

In 2009 Quevedo bottled some of their Vintage Port varietals in quarter bottles. The following notes are for the wines on a Pop and Pour basis.

Tinto Câo: blueberry, chocolate and cocoa on the nose. Little on entry, little fruit on the palate but great firm tannins. Firm acidity and tannins on the aftertaste. Not a great wine on it’s own but as a component I can see the use.  84/100. Tasted 03-Mar-23. Pop 'n' pour.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Just for the sake of total accuracy: it's tinto cão.
