Tasting Notes

Mid ruby – VERY evolved-looking for a 1985. Sweaty, rather ‘Australian’(!) nose. Sweet and round and easy though very spirity. Not fine. A bit of a kick in the backside rather than a mellow experience. (JR)

Portugal Fine Wine and Fortified Port

Portugal

Portugal is a treasure trove of indigenous grapes, ancient traditions and modern confidence. From the schistous slopes of the Douro to the breezy Atlantic coast, the wines offer freshness, texture and authenticity. Expect structured reds, mineral whites, and of course, Port – but also thrilling lesser-known finds from regions like Dão, Bairrada and Alentejo. A rich, expressive and hugely rewarding wine culture.
