1989 Quinta da Ribeira da Caparide

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

1989 Quinta da Ribeira da Caparide, Carcavelos. Light and elegant appearance, looks a little turbid with some fine sediment in suspension. 20% opaque. Sharp and bright on the nose, something a little odd? Balanced on the palate, light and elegant and made in a drier style. Stunning persistent finish of bitter grapefruit and light brown sugar. 89/100. Tasted at a Carcavelos event in Lisbon on 29-Feb-2024.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
