This page provides an overview of my notes on the Quevedo 1974 Colheita. Apologies if the notes are brief (or non-existent); they are mainly recorded for my benefit with public distribution being a secondary priority!
I always enjoy hearing from other Port-drinkers. If you find these notes helpful; or find yourself violently disagreeing with me about them, please do not hesitate to contact me at: port@Jacob-Head.com.
Notes: Portologia (née Vinologia). Bottled 2013. Surprisingly deep colour for its age. Very muted on nose and in palate. Sadly, I think this was just past its best and had spent too long in the barrels.
Tasted at: Porto 2020
Date: 14th September 2020
Rated*: P-
My rating system attempts to answer the question “is this a good Port?” one of three ways: N—No; P—Possibly; or C—Certainly. Ports generally are weighted slightly by their category. Therefore, a Ruby Port might receive a C rating for Certainly good which it might not were it to be a Vintage Port. I sometimes modify my rating with a plus or minus indicating that the Port is better or worse than might be expected for this category.
