Besides Vesuvio, of course, who if memory serves have only missed 2 vintages since 1989.none quite as radically as Quinta do Noval

Plus both '20 and '21 because of no foot treading.

Since the claim seems to be based on the run from 2011, aren’t there quite a few others? Quevedo, for example. And maybe Niepoort, too?
Re: Quinta do Noval article
Wouldn't surprise me, but I haven't paid close enough attention to know for sure.
2014 also? Hmm... didn't know that. Was it really that poor of a year or just a bad one at Vesuvio?

2014: I think that was a wet year where a few people who picked really early or really late made a decent wine. My experience of 2014 is that they are quite old fashioned in style with big, green tannins.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
