Best wines of ProWein 2016
The emotional moments of ProWein—from Champagne to 100-point vintage port!
Andresen: a very confidential port house, with some real aces up their sleeve.
Vertical of Krohn Colheita 2003–1961: among the very best tawny port money can buy.
2011 Vintage Port: the best ever? See my full vintage assessment & best picks from 60 wines tasted & retasted.
Quinta Mendes Pereira: likely my best visit in Dão, with an outstanding 2004 Garrafeira.
QuintadasMarias: exciting Swiss-owned Dão wines including a brilliant 100% Alfrocheiro.
In Dão: a hectic day with winemaker António Narciso visiting no fewer than 7 estates.
Herdade da Comporta: 12 km of impeccable sandy beaches and some nice wines in Portugal’s Alentejo:
Two excellent, distinctive Alentejo reds: Arundel and Monte dos Cabaços.
