Titan Of Douro

Quinta do Vallado

Douro Touriga Nacional 2014

Deep purple color fading to black in the center of the glass. Floral nose with spices and black fruits and a hint of smoke. Black cherries with plums and spices laced with a hint of vanilla. Well integrated oak announcing tannins that have arrived to maturity. The tasting notes for 2023 were very accurate as to where this vintage was heading and I’m glad I have 2 more bottles. Next one will be served with the lamb or dry aged prime rib this wine deserves. — 5 days ago

Douro Red Blend 2015

Just opened and poured and tasted, the bouquet was strong dark fruit with floral notes. Still a dark red with no visible signs of being 10 years old. Full mouth, delicious, really impressive again! — 6 months ago

Bottle Aged Late Bottled Vintage Porto 2010

Bottled in 2015. One of the best lbv. In de geur doet hij eerder denken aan een oude chateuneuf. En dan in de smaak.. heel smooth, veel concentratie, heel fresh. Mooie tannine. — 8 months ago

i've had this off & on for the past 25 years and it reliably offers copious amounts of fruit along with cocoa, vanilla & other decadent flavors & aromas. This was no different just not as polished or balanced as I recall. Wonder if they've increased production - this is their entry level offering — a month ago

Vintage Porto 1991

A little caramel on the nose and the first part of taste was not much but opened up midpalate to finish with caramel and spices.

This was a half bottle that cost $13.79 back in the day. Had this with dessert at Le Virtú in Philly

Quinta do Noval

Vintage Port Blend 1985

Last had about 2 years ago. Really a lovely port. Flowers and cherries on the very expressive nose. Tons of candied cherry on the palate. Very long mouth staining finish. Excellent acid and just a bit of bitterness (in a nice way). — 2 months ago

Vintage Port Blend 1975

50th wedding anniversary! Tasting great. I’m shocked at the cherry fruit that is still vibrant, a lot of raisin, wood, caramel, vanilla, tobacco leaf. So surprised at how good this is tasting — 3 months ago
