2007 Dona Matilde Vintage Port

[Rune EG]

Bottle brought home from the FTLOP Harvest Tour 2010. Decanted 4 hrs. Deep dark red colour. Strong nice aroma of young fruit (dark berries), a typical young vintage aroma. Smooth, balanced, powerful, some dryness in the middle part, pleasant amounts of tannins. Medium to full body. Medium length in the finish. A very nice young vintage port. Gave the same score as noted during tasting at DOC restaurant October 2010. 93 pts.

Rune,

Consistent you are.

Glad you liked it. How did Emmy like it?

I just checked my notes ... although not from the Tour, but had one at 91 and the other at 92. A very solid VP!

[Rune EG]

We both enjoyed this VP on Christmas Eve, however she gave gave a couple of points lower.
Her taste is fairly close to mine, but when having a choice, she prefers them older where the "fruitiness" is not dominating the taste as much as it does for the young VPs.

[Roy Hersh]

Yes, as I got to know your wife a little bit during the tour, I could tell she was more enamored when we were drinking the older bottlings.

I hope you will go to our Port Forum when you have time, Rune; and post what you are planning to have on New Years Eve ... which is coming a lot sooner for you than some of us! Look forward to drinking together again some day in the not too distant future. Please send Emmy my best regards, too!
