Quarles Harris 1997
Vintage Port
Great quality Vintage attributable to excellent viticultural conditions.
Description
Picking started in the Pinhão and Rio Torto valleys around the 22nd September and it was immediately clear that some very fine wines would be made, as the musts possessed enormous flavour and bouquet coupled with the intense purple colour extracted during fermentation.
Our Expert's Recommendation
"This Vintage is beginning to show some of the wonderful characteristics of bottle matured wine. It can be drunk now but will repay a few more years in your cellar."
Press Comments
"Prune and coffee aromas. Even anissed. Subtle. Full-bodied, medium-sweet and very rich. Soft and velvety. Long and balanced. Turns a little chewy. Will improve for many years, but it's ready. Drink now."
"A young Port, with plenty of black pepper and cherry character. Full-to medium-bodied, with lots of sweet fruit and a velvety tannin structure."
