Description

Quevedo 2020 Vintage Port
A beautifully concentrated, richly expressive Port from one of the Douro’s most exciting producers.

Crafted during one of the most challenging years in recent memory, this 2020 Vintage Port stands out not only for its depth and structure, but for its sheer character and charm. The 2020 harvest was the smallest of the century in the Douro, and with pandemic-related disruptions affecting both production and manpower, many top houses chose not to declare a vintage at all.

Quevedo did — and with spectacular results.

We first tasted this in April 2022 at the Big Fortified Tasting. It was immediately impressive: rich and thrilling, with a dense, concentrated core of fruit. There’s a purity and precision here that reveals itself gradually, supported by a firm structure and beautifully integrated tannins. After a few hours in the glass, the wine opens further — showing a fresh, lifted edge and an astonishingly long, focused finish.

This is a Vintage Port to lay down with confidence. With time, its early charm will give way to even greater complexity and elegance.

Drink 2030–2070. A superb collector’s Port from an extraordinary year.

*** 92 Points mark Squires - Wine Advocate ***
The 2020 Vintage Port is a blend of 45% Touriga Franca, 28% Touriga Nacional, 20% Tinta Roriz and dollops of others, unoaked and coming in with just 81 grams of residual sugar. This was bottled in June 2022. Despite not being in bottle long when tasted, this showed rather well. Particularly for this vintage, it has some precision. It's not fat and fruity but rather serious and structured. The fine concentration is not at all surprising, but neither is the very ripe fruit profile. The serious tannic pop is obvious, but I did like the firm finish a lot. Overall, this is well built, serious in style and likely to develop. What's missing today is a good expression of fruit. It has to develop and develop well, coming into better balance and opening up. It is really going to need to be cellared for the rest of the decade, and that is probably not going to be enough. No matter what, you will have to like them on the very dry side. This is not exactly a sugary fruit bomb, and it is well on the stern side, a little monolithic today.

At the moment, this has plenty of potential but some things to prove too. The 2019 is probably a step up based on its fruit profile and a safer bet, now and in the long run, but they both have plenty of room for improvement. This looks like a nice achievement in the vintage. It is just going to need some time to come around. MS August 2022
