This page provides an overview of my notes on the São Pedro das Aguias 2000 Vintage Port. 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: Tasting of three vintage ports. The oldest available. Red colour fading quite dramatically at the rim. Overwhelming scent of cherry sweets. Tasted a little backed, perhaps. Slightly less fresh fruit than I might have hoped for a 2000: it’s not quite clear how long it will last.
Tasted at: Vinologia
Rated*: P
My rating system attempts to answer the question “is this a good Port?” one of three ways: No; Possibly; or Certainly. Ports generally are rated against others of their category. Therefore, a Ruby Port which I rate as C for Certainly good, might not be as good as a Vintage Port which receives the same rating. 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.
