WINE TALK

It was great to taste this and other Port wines at the Instituto da Vinha e do Vinho in Lisbon, thanks to Adegga Wine Market’s André Cid Proença and André Ribeirinho. Ribeirinho is writing the chapter on Portuguese wines for Hugh Johnson’s latest edition.
It was a blind tasting in four flights. [cheers.gif]

2012 Vinhos Quevedo Porto Late Bottled Vintage – Portugal, Douro, Porto
The surprise of the morning tastings! Pure jam, like fresh home-made marmalade of rich red and black fruits, opulent, with smoky yet tannic characteristics. A certain fire-like aspect on the finish, which is long. And experts preferred it to some of the veritable vintage ports tasted blind. Get to wine-searcher.com now. (94 pts.)

Quevedo makes some amazingly good Ports. And Oscar and his sister (winemaker) are super nice folks as well.

FYI. There is no “Oscar” in the name. It’s just Quevedo.
