2010 Vinhos Oscar Quevedo Porto Late Bottled VintagePort Blend more |
10/5/2013 - theportguy wrote: 88 points2013 Port Harvest Tour; 9/27/2013-10/6/2013 (Porto, Portugal): Cask sample. This will eventually be bottled as either a Late Bottled Vintage Port or a Colheita Port. Oscar is learning towards Colheita Port. Dark opaque purple in color. Dark fruits, some fresh herbs, and floral notes on nose. The tannins are rounded and extremely fine-grained. The mid-palate is a little disjointed right now but should balance out in time. |

10/4/2013 - theportguy wrote: 98 points2013 Port Harvest Tour; 9/27/2013-10/6/2013 (Porto, Portugal): Garrafão 7 - While touring the dusty old cellars at Casa Santa Eufemia, I spotted this bottle sitting on top of a glass demijohn bottle. It seemed clear that it was a sample bottle of the wine in the larger demijohn below it. I pointed this bottle out to Roy, whose eyes lit up when he saw it. Our host explained that the wine is an old wine that is used for blending into other wines to improve the quality. No paperwork survived to tell us exactly what age this wine is, but they let Roy taste a small sample right there in the cellar, and said that if he approved, we could all try it later at dinner. Roy took one sip and the expression on his face was disbelief. He paused for a very long time, then said out loud that he thought it was on par with the 1863 and the two 1896s from Krohn. When we got to try it later that evening and I wrote the following notes: The color is a dark, dark amber. As you swirl it, it has color like a dark, PX sherry. It has clearly been in demi-john for a very long time. Cola syrup and molasses on the nose. The acidity on this wine is razor sharp. It is like the acidity of a Sercial Maderia without all the dryness. There isn't any detectable Douro bake at all on this wine, even though it has been stored in the Baixo Corga. The winemaker said "I use just 1% of this old wine in a 20 Year Old Tawny blend and it makes it a completely different wine." |

10/4/2013 - theportguy wrote: 93 points2013 Port Harvest Tour; 9/27/2013-10/6/2013 (Porto, Portugal): This wine hails from 1973, although it lacked the required paperwork to bottle it with the date on the label. Rich straw color. Hints of tropical fruit on the nose. Powerful, rich mouthfeel. Citrus and honey give way to firm tannins on the mid-palate.. Very long, rich finish with just a touch of bitterness on the very end of the finish. |

NV Casa de Sta. Eufemia Porto 40 Year Old TawnyPort Blend more |
10/4/2013 - theportguy wrote: 96 points2013 Port Harvest Tour; 9/27/2013-10/6/2013 (Porto, Portugal): Bottled in 2013. This is really a "century blend." The wines come from very old stocks - wines over 100 years old make up the backbone for this wine. Brick red in color, which is extremely surprising for an old 40 Year Old Tawny. Wood, hints of mocha, and leather on the nose. Crazy concentration with a rich, intense approach. Orange flavors on the approach give way to a beautiful mid-palate of cinnamon, spices, and espresso. The long finish introduces caramel and hints of butterscotch to the mélange. |
