Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The 1991 Vintage Port is flattering and precocious for its vintage. It offers generous levels of sweet black fruits, full body, a velvety, supple texture, and a fine finish. Drink it over the next 20 years. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800.
About the Producer

Nibert Winery owns several vineyards.

In the Redoma Reserva Branco vineyard, the vines are planted at an altitude of 400-700 meters, so the wine made from the grapes here is fresh, with mineral flavor, concentrated and complex flavor, which can leave a very special impression on people. deep impression. At the same time, the winery also produces several series of wines. There is a 1970 vintage port wine in the winery, which is still regarded as one of the best port wines in the winery to this day.
