2003 Quinta do Portal Vintage Port

[Otto Nieminen]

Quinta do Portal VP 2003 was black. I've never seen a Port this colour: totally black. The nose was black in its fruit also and very complex and deep. The palate is complex and deep and very, very impressive also, but the entry is a bit too smooth. The structure comes into the picture with a little delay compared to the fruit. But this is a minor point: this is a superb, "modern" styled Port.
