2011 Quinta do Vale Dona Maria

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep purple, fresh nose that is rather subdued. Luscious fruit on the palate with strong tannins providing a firm structure. Air on the palate releases a pure blueberry flavour. Very fine port. 90-92. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
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!
