For The Love Of Port

Tasted from the barrel on 09 July 2019, this colheita evidenced a green rim and the colour of strong tea, aged as it has been on the Douro property. The nose proffered hints of caramelised sugar and mineral tones redolent of a younger vintage port. ‘Twas an unusual mix of sensations which worked wonderfully. Sharp spices overpowered the mouth upon entry, with the appearance of the carmelised sugar at the mid palate; once again, the combination of ostensibly-opposing flavours came together exceedingly well. The medium-to-long finish was very spicy at the start, giving way to a pleasing numbness of the mouth. The tannic structure of this wine remained very much in evidence and the acidity level was just right. A truly fine and unique colheita, worthy of bottling in its own right.

Quevedo's older wines are AWESOME!
Thanks for your barrel tasting note!

What Dave said. Awesome Ports, and wines as well. Not to mention super nice people. Thanks for sharing sounds like you had a wonderful time.

Great tasting note. From your description, this sounds like a wine I would very much enjoy; I hope to try it at some point.
