1997 Heredias Vintage Port

[Steven Kooij]

Heredias 1997 VP – This VP had a great nose upon decanting, but when this was poured it had closed up completely. Well structured, fresh, fine tannins, smooth. On the sweet side. Very accessible already. Not very complex, but a Port with everything in the right place. 88
After some feeble LBVs from this producer, this VP was a very nice surprise, especially considering its 23 Euro price! As an aside, this Heredias hails from the same company as Senhora do Convento, and I believe the name Heredias will be (or is) phased out…does anyone have more info about this?
