No longer the Vintage of the Century

    I've heard from Joao Roseira of Quinta do Infantado that the 1994's aren't doing as well as it once was thought.

    The 1997s and 2000s are now looking like much better vintages.

    I've also tasted some 1994s recently and I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. This isn't to say that the 1994 vintage isn't worth it or will be bad, just that it no longer is thought up as the "vintage of the century".

    Roy, have you tasted the Quinta do Vesúvio 1994? That wine really proves that 1994 is probably one of the vintages of the century...I think it is important to remenber that some vintage pass to what it is called the "stupid" stage, beacuse they close. The 1994's are passing that stage.Posted on Feb 13, 2009
