1931 Wine and Port Vintage
Italian: Generally an exquisite vintage for Piedmont with sensational wines of harmonious balance and flavour.
Bordeaux: Poor year again except excellent Port.
Portugal: An outstanding Vintage Port year declared by a few shippers. The year produced Quinta Do Noval 1931 - one of the greatest Vintage Ports ever made. A note from Amyas Warre of the Symington Port Group, which owns the well known names as W&J Graham Vintage Port, Dow Vintage Port and Warre Vintage Port, stated "In the finest vineyards some good wine with plenty of colour is promised but elsewhere the mostos (musts) are thin and green."
This Year in History: Fun Fact: The Vic-Wells Ballet, later to become The Royal Ballet, debuts in London.
Born in this Year: Willie Shoemaker, Horse Jockey, who won 8,833 horse races in his 40-year career. He was placed in a shoebox and the shoebox was placed in the oven when he was a baby to keep him alive. He was honored by the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1958.

Don PX Convento Seleccion, Montilla-Moriles 1931
98 Points Robert Parker
The 1931 Toro Albala proceeds from the sacristy that the Palma family had in the basement of their house located in Aguilar de la Frontera. The butt stack’s temperature and humidity were preserved in perfect conditions, which allowed this amontillado to age statically with refinement and elegance. José María Toro Albalá acquired this relic and stored it in his winery, waiting for the right moment to commercialize it. It has obtained 98 Robert Parker points.
“Convento Selección” are wines that have aged for generations in butts so that the wine and wood could merge with time and result into an unmatchable flavour. …
