/B+
Tasting Note: Ruby Porto, Quevedo, Non Vintage
Comments = good wine for that price, the wine has no fault, it is just a notch lower in terms of flavour intensity
Final Grade = B+
/B+
Tasting Note: Late Bottled Vintage Porto, 2014, Quinta do Noval
Comments = Need further aging to develop its full potential and smooth its tannins
Final Grade = B+
/B+
Tasting Note: Graham’s Vintage Porto 2010, Quinta dos Malvedos
Comments = has a good potential for developing complex tertiary aromas through aging. (Tasted while still young, if drinked after 10+ additional aging, this wine would probably be graded as a A- wine)
Final Grade = B+
/B
Tasting Note: Dow’s, Ruby Porto, Porto
Comments = this is not a faulty wine, it is balanced and fruity. It is also a good deal for the price. However, its lack of complexity (outside of its fully fruity profile) prevents it to be graded higher
Final Grade = B
