Description
**Half Bottle**
The Quevedo Vintage Port 2005 is a dark cherry colour. The flavour is of ripe fruit - evocative of black plum and redcurrant. Earthy and well balanced with a touch of dry wood. Some minutes later raspberry and violet flower flavour emerge with a lovely hint of soy. On the palate: balanced and voluminous with very good tannins. Sweet oak combined with dried fruit such as fig, plum or date. Persistent and unique finish.
Quevedo is a family brand producing quality Port from vineyards they have owned for more than one hundred years. The new generation of owners, Oscar and Claudia, are innovating to produce some amazing ports. Not widely known in the UK but very highly regarded amongst port aficionados this is one to stock up on.

The 2005 Vintage Port is an unoaked field blend coming in with 99 grams of residual sugar. In excellent shape, it is fairly dense for the style, with moderate tannins and rich fruit. It is drinking rather well now, flavorful and surprisingly fleshy. There isn't a lot of lift to the fruit, but it still has reasonably vivid flavor, without becoming too stolid. It tastes great. It will gain complexity if you continue to age it, but you don't need to fear it just now—it is ready to roll. This is being re-released and will be available in the fall.
