2005 Port Vintage Report
The 2005 Port Vintage was not widely declared but, nevertheless produced some excellent ports. The big producers did not declare the vintage and concentrated on producing Single Quinta ports from selected vineyards. Some smaller producers did declare 2005. The 2005 vintage ports are already approachable but would benefit from further cellaring.

Quevedo, 2005
Vintage Port

Messias, 2005
Colheita Port

The 2005 Messias Colheita port is well-regarded for its balanced sweetness and complex profile, making it a great choice for those who enjoy tawny and colheita style ports.
Tasting notes:
Tawny colour with red hues. Aromas of dried forest fruits, with a strong note of prunes and spice. On the palate, the berry flavours persist with integrated tannins and hints of vanilla. Smooth and balanced by refreshing acidity. Despite its age, it retains much of its original ripe fruitiness, which is enhanced by sultana and wood spice flavours from the cask ageing. The aftertaste is persistent, smooth, and fine. …

Barros Port, 2005
Vintage Port Includes Gift Box
The Barros 2005 vintage port has a very solid, vivid crimson colour and a nose that is rather spirity at first, with a fresh, almost herbal edge to bright raspberry and vinous fruit, in a style that immediately suggests this is a lighter, more fresh style of Port. On the palate there is plenty of sweetness, with cassis and ripe, sweet liquidised cherry, but also a touch of raisin and date-like fruit. A certain silky, vanilla and thick plum underpinning emerges into the finish, but so does some quite grippy tannin and again a slightly spiritous edge in a wine that perhaps will become a little more harmonious with time in bottle. …
