Axel Probst: Sitting on the very top of the hill and overlooking Pinhāo, Quinta da Eira Velha produced occasional Vintage Ports. Though the grape composition has not been recorded, this would today fit into the single-quinta category. Transparent medium-red color, with mint, coffee, and herb. The elegant palate shows cherry and herbal notes and a distinct sweetness. The aftertaste is rather short, indicating that this may be about to fade. Now to 2020.
