Quevedo 2014 Vintage Port from a Closure Experiment case cellared in Fordingbridge. Tasted blind, not knowing which sample relates to which method of closure. The samples are all more or less the same colour, a deep and dark red with small rims. The noses of 2 and 3 are very similar, expressive with fresh ripe red peach fruit. 4 is muted on the nose, showing a little red fruit but more aggressive in tone. 5 is very closed on the nose. The palate of 2 has shut down; powerful acidity and raw tannins dominate the fruit. The fruit is present, but very reluctant to show. Aggressive acidity on the aftertaste, a big burst of menthol heat, dry dark chocolate and a sour blackcurrant and warm aniseed finish of fabulous length. Incredibly young, big and very muscular. 92/100.
Sample 2 was a standard bottle sealed with a natural cork.
