2010 Cartuxa
From Alentejo. Deep red and young in appearance. Unusual on the nose, with fruit and plasticine. Restrained entry with the odd plasticine notes coming through on the palate. The late palate is dominated by the seep and concentrated fruit, strong acidity and big tannins. This will benefit from more time in the cellar. 85/100. 04-Sep-14. Decanted 1 hour
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!
