Portugal, Douro, Porto

Powerful dark plum fruit. Huge structure and lots of acidity. Freshly ground black pepper. Charming wine.

2000 Casal dos Jordoes Porto Vintage 90 Points

Portugal, Douro, Porto

Sweet dark plum fruit. Crazy acidity and lots of overall freshness. Tannins are a bit reluctant and it seems a little bit flabby.
However, it also seems somewhat closed and could be a lot better than the initial impression.

Flight 2 (7 Notes)

1983 Ramos Pinto Porto Vintage 92 Points

Portugal, Douro, Porto

Deep flavors of sweet plums with a touch of coffee and dark chocolate.
The sweetness is dominating a little bit but overall a really nice wine.

1983 Fonseca Porto Vintage 88 Points

Portugal, Douro, Porto

Slightly off bottle. Has a little walnuts and burnt sugar but the alcohol is dominating.
After revealing the wine we were sure that it was defective.

1983 Gould Campbell Porto Vintage 94 Points

Portugal, Douro, Porto

Lovely sweet liquorice with a dense dark plum fruit but still with some elegance and refinement to it. Very intense flavors with a piercing acidity. Nice balance.
A very delicious and impressive wine.

1983 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage 92 Points

Portugal, Douro, Porto

Lots of walnut flavors with a touch of orange peel and fresh mint leaves.
There is almost no fruit left and it does appear mature. Has a lovely sweetness and slightly dominated by the alcohol.
Still a very nice wine.

Sweet dark plums. A little floral and coffee and marzipan. Good acidity but a little bit plain and ordinary.

VA on both nose and palate.
Otherwise a nice wine with plum fruit and good structure.
