Warre's Quinta da Cavadinha Vintage Port 2006

The Quinta da Cavadinha has a lifted bouquet with more red cherry fruit. It is lighter and more airy than Symington's other single quintas, with fine delineation with more expressive minerality compared to the Quinta do Bomfim 2006, for example. The palate is ripe and sweet on the entry and displays filigree tannins, a wonderful edginess and poise, plus a sense of completeness that is very attractive. This is not a powerhouse single quinta, but it has life-affirming tension and purity towards the long, sensual finish. Wonderful. Drink date: 2016-2040. Score - 93.
