Portal Vintage 2007 celebrates the tenth declaration of Vintage by Quinta do Portal and Paulo Coutinho.
An austere looking wine, but delicate in handling, as Paulo describes it. Deep red, it reveals notes of plum and black fig in a clean and pure profile. Very balanced, silky but with firm tannins and excellent acidity. Elegant!

TEST RESULTS
Complete with vintage 2007 my Xth Vintage Port elaboration. I will always have it as a reference for this aspect, but also because it represents the first Vintage produced in the new Quinta do Portal winery. In addition, it is a Vintage with its own particularities. A style that, without underestimating the typical austerity of these wines while they are new, presents itself as molded to the new demands of the market: An austere wine in appearance, but delicate in handling! As red as it needs to be, exuberantly fruity with hints of plum and black fig, in a clean and pure profile. With well-integrated alcohol, letting you understand the full character of the fruit, of its matrix. Very balanced, almost silky on the attack, followed by firm tannins to emphasize its presence, complemented by acidity and alcohol that are properly linked and potentiating.
