2014 Quinta do Vale Dona Maria
Approved by the IVDP in March 2016. A youthful magenta in colour with a wonderful floral nose. Fragrant entry, with beautifully ripe fresh fruit - tasting of the colour purple. The tannins are ripe slightly green and very grippy and support a wonderfully perfumed mid-palate. The aftertaste is generous and lingers gently. Pleasing port. 87-89/100. 22-Apr-16
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
