1960 Quinta do Godim Vintage Port

Post by Allan Engelsted Laurents »

A "forgotten" Porthouse, handwritten label.
Opend 30.th October 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark
Decant: 2 hours
The cork came out smooth, slow and in one pieces with the Durand (without using the spikes). Just after opening, I knew by the big fresh Nose, that the port was more than drinkable.

Colour: red/brown, just like cola
Nose filled with elegance and balanced citrus. Sitting now on the second day, and are just enjoying the even bigger nose.

The port lingers in the mouth, with a warm, soft an not overly sweet taste.

Overall a very pleasant surprise. 92 points

Absolutely nothing!
I have never heard about Quinta do Godim before. Tried to google...There should be a trainstation along the Douro, with that name?
My guess, is a small Quinta close to the trainstation, where someone 55 years ago resided and made his own VP.
