Porto 2013

Good everyday wine — 9 years ago

Quinta de Ventozelo

Douro Touriga Nacional 2010

Nice big nose of cassis and other dark fruits, touch of oak and tar. Not nearly as port-ish as the Carvalhas. Considerable body and tannins, with more blackberry and other dark fruits. Nice bottle for the money for sure. — 11 years ago

Quinta das Carvalhas Vinhas Velhas Red Blend 2013

Enormous. This has stuffing for excellent drinking in the now-to-5-years range but I'm not sure its built for the long haul. Give it good long decant and get it below room temp. — 8 years ago

Late Bottled Vintage Porto 2009

A good bit of fruit; less plum and raisin up front than the Quinta Das Carvalhas, and a wee bit thin on the initial finish. Still, an excellent LBV. Darker fruit flavors come on as it warms. Actually coats the mouth nicely in the end. — 10 years ago

Quinta de Ventozelo

Reserva Douro 2009

A lot more earthy than the 2011 Quinta das Carvalhas Douro Touriga Nacional, but with all the small fruity nuances (especially blackberry). Definitely my new favorite red. — 11 years ago

Had this again. Still special

Quinta das Carvalhas

Reserva Tawny Porto Port Blend

Dark almond with sweet fruit aromas and some spice. On the palate dried red fruit flavors, well balance, nice acidity with a nuttiness character. Lingering finish ending with mineral tones. — 9 years ago

Vinho do Porto 1975

Un porto offert par un ancien producteur. Assis sur sa chaise il attendait le client. La cave était rustique et le porto divinement bon aujourd'hui. Merci Monsieur ! — 10 years ago
