Description
The 1997 is an elegant Port, though having some good depth. Its tannins were melted and some secondary flavours were already starting to show, the fruit was chaging from ripe plums to candied figs. It is reaching its 2nd plateau of maturity. Passadouro is an early drinker but this 1997 is one of the good port wines they made in the 90's.
WINE SPECTATOR 90 points
"A very grapey '97, with loads of ripe fruit, firm tannins and a long, caressing finish. Subtle and long. Better than when tasted from barrel. Best after 2007."
