Our Expert's Recommendation
"This Single Quinta wine has now reached its full maturity and is ready for drinking. As it ages further, it will begin to develop gently into a more tawny style wine. A fantastic glass of Port."
Press Comments
“A dark, glossy, red garnet-black hue - with just a tinge of maturity on the rim. A lovely nose, very open and approachable, full of toasty black fruits. On the palate it has a lovely, full richness, with delightful balance of fruit, tannins and acidity. Nicely structured. There is even a velvety edge to the texture, producing a smooth, elegant end palate and finish. This is impressive stuff…Excellent”.
“Say what you will, nothing beats vintage port and nothing beats single-estate bottles for earlier maturity and more youthful drinking. Perfect winter-beater”.
“Warre Quinta da Cavadinha 1987, a magnificently complete port with a chewy texture, vibrant tannins, lovely complex fruit of immense depth and sunny ripeness. It is a wine to stiffen the sinews”.
"Fine colour. Excellent nose. Lots of depth and complexity. Rich, fat and concentrated. Not a bit too sweet. Still youthful. Still tannic. This has a lot of character and dimension. Fine."
“1987 Quinta da Cavadinha. The year should come as a surprise. It was one of those which could have been declared a vintage.”
