2003 Quinta do Portal LBV (unfiltered)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Traditional LBV bottled in 2007. Warm fruit on the nose, surprisingly closed but showing farmyard smells. Dry and acidic impact with the plentiful fruit partly hidden. Tannins are surprisingly grippy. A lovely blackcurrant aftertaste and a great milk chocolate finish. 87/100.
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!
