2003 Quinta do Portal vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Amongst all the black fruits there was an odd hint of potatoes on the nose. In the mouth the wine was smooth and silky. Huge fruit and a much more tannic structure than the the Portal+. Another good wine - but I prefer the Portal+. Not rated - just too young for me to be able to do so. Drunk 6/11/05 after 4 hours in the decanter.
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!
