2009 Warre Porto Late Bottled Vintage
3/22/2024 - cofidis2 Likes this wine: 90 Points
Decanted about 8 hours. The color is still holding a dark ruby and now showing some light bricking on the edges. Youthful plums are starting to give way to blueberries, mixed with a lot of dusty tannins and plenty of acidity. The moderate complexity, with the just evolving fruit and structure, make this an especially easy to drink LBV. I Really enjoyed this bottle, even though it is not near peak yet. These Warre's LBV have the ability to age beyond most in their category. Enjoy now with a long decant, or better yet, wait another decade for this to start peaking.

2018 Niepoort Bairrada VV Vinhas Velhas Quinta de Baixo

Decanted about an hour and served cool but not cold. Very good structure and mouthfeel. Balanced fruit with a medium long finish. Much better warmer than colder. 90 points

1985 Quinta do Crasto Porto Vintage
2/11/2024 - cofidis2 wrote: 88 Points
Initially decanted about 4 hours, with a couple glasses leftover for the next day. Lighter in color with bricking. Very viscous and sweet with bing cherries and licorice. The tannins are fully resolved. A medium slightly warm finish is short on acidity to temper that sweetness. A rather delicate VP at this point in its evolution and one that is at its peak drinking window, if not a touch past.
