2014 Quinta de Santa Eufemia

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Dark red, the colour of black cherry juice; medium rim. Lovely nose full of blackcurrant and sweet cornflowers. Smooth entry, satin smooth, the tannins show predominantly on the entry but are wrapped in very sweet black cherry juice. Nice levels of acidity keep the wine fresh and focused. Lovely floral elements to the palate.

Good chewy tannins dominate the aftertaste and show some heat on the early finish, but this settles down to a long espresso and black cherry finish. Nice, but a little simple at the moment. 87-89/100. Drunk 24 Jun 2017.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
