2009 Quevedo Sample Tinto Cao

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

In 2009 Quevedo bottled some of their Vintage Port varietals in quarter bottles. The following notes are for the wines on a Pop and Pour basis.

Tinto Câo: blueberry, chocolate and cocoa on the nose. Little on entry, little fruit on the palate but great firm tannins. Firm acidity and tannins on the aftertaste. Not a great wine on it’s own but as a component I can see the use.  84/100. Tasted 03-Mar-23. Pop 'n' pour.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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