Quinta Do Portal, Late Bottled Vintage Port

Continues to drink very well!

Purchased for $35. Wow. I mean WOW. This could be the best 10-Year I've had. Definitely Top 2. This is cloudy burnt orange in color. Not quite tawny in color. Deliciously fragrant nose of honey and stone fruit. Absolutely mesmerizing and unctuous notes of honey, orange peel, honeysuckle, apricot and stone fruit. Just tons of sweet honey and apricot. Amazing mouth feel with incredibly juicy acidity. The finish goes on and on. Wow. Stunning. Grade: A

Purchased for $35. Served in a Riedel Vinum Port glass. Beautiful clear dark amber color. Hold this up to the sunlight and be amazed at the gorgeous color. Not giving too much on the nose... hints of apricot, hazelnut and a hint of that tawny funk. But on the palate, HOLY COW, outstanding complexity. Absolutely delicious notes of sweet fig, hazelnut, almond, date, butterscotch and caramel. Wow, this is unctuous and sweet. The finish is full and long. This is …

Bottled in 2018. Am still exploring port, and got this as a gift. Both nose and attack seem fairly diluted and watery here, opens up nicely on the mid palate though, good complexity, not too sweet, the finish however again fades rather quickly. Overall pleasant as I am not a fan of very sweet or oxidative styles, but lacks concentration and persistence of a great port IMHO.

Skovgaard tasting.

2013 Port Harvest Tour; 9/27/2013-10/6/2013 (Porto, Portugal) : Bottled in 1998. Light vegetative notes on the nose. Raspberry and red fruit on the palate. Rich mouthfeel. Good balance on the slightly oxidized, long finish.

Vinho com aspecto brilhante, límpido sem turvações ou partículas em suspensão, cor castanha (tawny), alaranjada intensa, ainda com alguns laivos de vermelho, cativante, aroma limpo sem defeitos, com boa intensidade, elegante e harmonioso, a amêndoas, avelãs, baunilha sabor genuíno e equilibrado de intensidade média e de qualidade agradável, aveludado, viscoso, com muita persistência no final, gostei muito deste vinho, um grande tawny 10 anos.
