Portugal has been producing some terrific wines lately, so I decided to head there for some bicycling and wine tasting. Even though the Duoro is home to Portugal's most popular wines, I headed to the Alentejo region to stay in some lovely pousadas I've...

Portugal on Snooth
July 2007
Cherry red. Very jammy and plummy. Hints of mint, very juicy with not a lot of leather or dark chocolate - they are just present. This is surprisingly drinkable. Firm, but not overpowering tannin, bitter chocolate, toffee, bramble and chocolate that lasts a long time. Read More
July 2007
Complex. Cherry fruit, tobacco and a little spirity. Fresh, fruity, and a long warm, spicy finish. Definately a modern vintage port, drunk young. A good wine and enjoyable to chat to Dirk Niepoort when I tried it. Read More

Drunk at Quinta do Napoles with Dirk Niepoort. Closed, not much power and very subtle aromas. The palate is very tobaccoey with chocolate, gentle fruit and spice. Good. Read More
July 2007
Inky purple. The aroma is big, sweet and lots of stewed fruit. The palate is very big, with tannins gripping a little too firmly and lots of stalky herbs, and black pepper. Read More

Great nose, well integrated aromas of nuts, orange peel. Palate is great, tobacco, nuts and bitter orange and tobacco. Stunning. Read More

This is the second Port I ever purchased and I always have a soft sport for it. At 23 this is heading towards a mid-life crisis for collectors: drink or hold? If you have a case, then I suggest both. Right now it shows off a precocious personality, ultimately harmonious and enjoyable at the moment. Yet the tannins are still quite ripe today and ... Read More

Decanted 10 hours prior to service. At 6 hours, it was overpowering and still showing some spirit on the nose and finish. The '77 Dow's needs little introduction and is a very big wine, as is its older brother from 1970. Still showing dark ruby-purple with a suggestion of age showing on the edge, but its core is opaque. Lovely fragrances that de... Read More

The nose shows some spicy elements and an herbal essence that add intricacy to the fresh raspberry aroma that showed no outward sign of spirit. Finally! I have never been a fan of this VP and it has always been a thorn in my side, even when put in front of me in a handful of "blind" tests ("let's fool Roy"). However, this particular bottle made ...

Inky purplish-red and nearly opaque, with a sweet plum and grapey aromatic profile. Densely packed with boysenberry and plump purple fruit that is lightly laced with licorice. Full-bodied, and expansive on the palate with a great tannin structure and fabulous length on the finish. A distinctive Noval and with their third big VP in a row, this Sh... Read More
