For The Love Of Port

Interesting news:

https://grandesescolhas.com/e-da-sogevi ... o-vintage/

The article is in Portuguese, but I think the content is clear enough:
For Sogevinus Fine Wines , 2020 is the Classic Vintage year for its four brands: Kopke, Burmester, Cálem and Barros.

Curious to see who else does.

Interesting... I had heard any real build up for the 2020s so wasn't expecting anyone to declare.

Same surprise here!

Óscar has given me permission to tell that he is showing a cask sample of the Quevedo 2020 vintage Port at the BFT next week.

I have not tried the Quevedo 2020 yet. But Quevedo like Noval, Vesuvio will always declare in small quantities something great each year. But for larger groups or houses that want to respect the tradition to declare only when stars align, 2020 does not seem to be the obvious candidate.

A limited edition will be released of Graham VP 2020 and Warre VP 2020
