Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage 1998
The colour was a remarkably dark ruby while the nose was pleasantly fruity. Tasting revealed a harmoniously rich port combining lots of jammy fruit flavours with subtly spicy hints. The striking thing about this port was that it had good depth and quality without any one element being over predominant. Tanins were almost non detectable meaning that, whilst it was a full bodied vintage, it was also very approachable.
