A cold winter with rains replenished water levels, while a dry spring and balanced weather throughout the summer led to an early September harvest producing excellent fruit. 1985 was widely declared for vintage Port and was also the last vintage made personally by Nicolau de Almeida. Very deep carmine red, no age on rim. It is a wonderful expression of ripe red and black fruits, and brambly autumn berries, with natural warmth and spice. It's still young, but not tight, just reserved and full of energy to come. Very good now with great potential to 2045. 2017-2045
