NV Porto dos Santos White 20YO (bottled 2024)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Drunk at lunch at with Alexandre Botelho. This was a bottle from Alexandre's own stocks. Porto dos Santos White 20YO, a blend of wines from the Baixa Corgo. Bottled in 2024, pop and poured. Rich orange, 20% opaque. A little oloroso notes on the nose, a little dried apricot. Medium sweet on the palate, with apricot and an egg custard creaminess. Wonderfully balanced, rich in flavour, with a long gentle orange persistent finish. Really rather lovely. A wonderful wine to be sipped and savoured. 93/100. 12-Oct-24.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
