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

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?

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.
