1998 Warre Cavadinha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Brick red, mature appearance, opaque centre. Fresh nose of redcurrants and cranberry. Smooth, sweet fruit entry, rounded and rich. Dry tannins support the fruit and grip on the teeth while peppercorn and raisins play across the tongue. Spicy finish with sweet candied cherry. Long finish. 88/100. Tasted 24-Feb-15.
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!

How long did you decant this one?

I suspect about 4 hours, but I didn't do the decanting.
