1997 Vintage Report

Italian: 1997 is undoubtedly a great vintage. Like 1982 and 1990 Bordeaux, it will have its critics because of its extreme style, but if wine is a beverage of pleasure, this vintage offers extraordinary wines.

Bordeaux: The wines from this vintage are characterised by being attractive, soft, user friendly with broad appeal. They have been quick to mature and, except for the most concentrated wines, should be drunk within the next few years.

Port: 1997 was one of the great port vintages of the decade and marked a general declaration of vintage. The vintage is characterised by full-bodied wines that will be at their best after 2015.

Niepoort Quinta do Passadouro, 1997
Quinta do Passadouro, Vintage Port
Description: "The 1997 is an elegant Port, though having some good depth. Its tannins were melted and some secondary flavours were already starting to show, the fruit was chaging from ripe plums to candied figs. It is reaching its 2nd plateau of maturity. Passadouro is an early drinker but this 1997 is one of the good port wines they made in the 90's.
