This Port, with its brick-red hues, makes a bold statement. The aromas dance and intertwine, blending notes of cinnamon, dried fruit, and blue flowers. The symphony continues on the palate, where woody notes, coffee beans, and mild spices come to the fore. A fine example of its appellation.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on August 17, 2021

Time goes by, and my dislike for it only grows! The palate is heady, with aromas of dried fruit and toasted notes, accented by oxidative hints of nuts, as well as an unattractive and overly prominent oakiness. In short, a Port that, in my humble opinion, is disharmonious and unbalanced, perhaps due to over-ripening caused by a long, poorly managed aging in oak barrels. In any case, this high-priced Quevedo falls far short of my standards for a rich Port—one with a creamy, silky texture and fine, round, supple tannins—that I enjoy sipping as an aperitif or paired with 70% cocoa chocolate.
