1987 Warre Cavadinha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

From half bottle. Dark and attractive red-mahogany. Gentle nose of sweet black cherry and sage. Modest and gentle entry, light fruit and a bit of herbaceous bite. Light-bodied. Peppery aftertaste and hot finish of good length. Decent drinking port. 86/100. Drunk 08-Oct-14. Decanted 24 hours.
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!
