Bordeaux: Poor year again except excellent Port.
Italian: Generally an exquisite vintage for Piedmont with sensational wines of harmonious balance and flavour.
Portugal: An outstanding Vintage Port year declared by a few shippers. The year produced Quinta Do Noval 1931 - one of the greatest Vintage Ports ever made.
