2014 Quevedo - Screw cap
Everything the same as the
2014 Quevedo - natural, straight, except:
...more acidity on the palate, not so tannic.

Quevedo 2014 Vintage Port from a Closure Experiment case cellared in Fordingbridge. Tasted blind, not knowing which sample relates to which method of closure. The samples are all more or less the same colour, a deep and dark red with small rims. 4 is muted on the nose, showing a little red fruit but more aggressive in tone.
Sample 4 has a lovely silky texture; the wine is full of fruit and - while young and aggressive - is much better balanced than 2 or 3. The balance lasts throughout the palate, aftertaste and finish, delivering a wine capable of being drunk today although one which would reward more time in the bottle.
Sample 4 was standard bottle, screwcap.
