Vintage Port

1990 was the first official year of Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port. Quinta do Vesuvio is arguably the most magnificent estate in the Douro valley.
"Light rose in colour; 30% opaque. Soft rose perfume on the nose, a little harsh and with a hint of bake. Hollow entry but some burnt sugar and a little red apple comes though on the mid-palate; dry and slightly bitter at the core. Big and flavoursome on the late palate, flavours which lead to red cinnamon and an aniseed finish that drops off quite rapidly. 84/100. Drunk 13-Feb-19. Decanted 1½ hours." Note By AHB on The Port Forum.

Wine Makers Notes: This was fortunate as the weather throughout the summer was very dry and the months of July and August were particularly hot. …

White Colheita Portin Gift Box

Quevedo 1986 White Colheita Port

The Quevedo 1986 White Colheita Port is an exceptional and very rare example of long-aged White Port from the Douro Valley. Drawn from a single harvest and matured in seasoned oak casks for many decades, it shows the extraordinary complexity that patient cask ageing can bring to the traditional white grape varieties of the region.

Unlike many historic Port houses that matured their wines in the cooler lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia, the Quevedo family have traditionally aged their Colheitas at the family winery in São João da Pesqueira in the Douro Valley. The warmer inland climate promotes a deeper oxidative evolution, producing wines of notable concentration, structure and aromatic complexity. …

92 Points- Wine Advocate

Quinta da Devesa Port Wines are produced exclusively from lots vinified and aged in the estate. Since 1941, vintages considered of superior quality by the family winemakers, were kept and stored in wooden barrels in the winery cellars.

Tasting Notes:
The NV 40 Year White Port is a field blend bottled in 2019 with a bar-top cork, 20% alcohol and 112 grams of sugar. It is mainly a blend this year of the 1967 and 1970 (although different casks than those used for the 1970 White Colheita this issue). This seems fresher and livelier than the last release I saw (the 2018, which was not quite the same blend of vintages—another good reason to pay attention to bottling dates with age-indicated Ports). …

The 1985 Dow’s Vintage Port is a standout from a highly successful declared vintage, offering classic structure, depth, and longevity.
