The Wine Advocate's sweetest praise for Vintage Port 2007

“There is no doubt that the year 2007 will be a high-class vintage, Jay Miller wrote on Parkers website. “In comparison with 2003, the year of an excellent vintage despite long heatwaves, the 2007 Vintage Port is a lot nicer and has a huge amount of potential”. Miller says about this: “Those ports awarded with less points should mature for 6 to 8 years, on top of that I would recommend the ones awarded with more than 90 points to mature up to 20 years. Then we will see if the 2007 Port can keep up with the vintages 2003, 2000, 1994, 1985, 1977, 1970 and 1963 – we will see, the chances are good”.

Not only Jay Miller praises the high quality and the exceptional easy style of the Vintage Port 2007, Richard Mayson, British wine expert and author of a luminary for port, Madeira, Sherry and in general for wines from Spain and Portugal, also says: “The 2007 port wines are already so vivid in their youth, they are very dynamic and have a fascinating purity and strong fruit aroma – something that I have rarely seen in young Vintage port wines”.
