Note di degustazione
The 1965 Quinta dos Malvedos Single Vintage is a limited bottling of 400 that should appease those born in this "difficult" birth year. That said, it is not the best Quinta dos Malvedos that I have encountered, being rather leathery and dusty, with the tincture of furniture polish that I have remarked on before. The palate is better, offering stem ginger and Chinese five-spice, and turning quite ferrous towards the slightly acetic but still pleasurable finish. Tasted at a private dinner in London.

Floral nose and nervy palate. Admirably long and holding up well though the fruit on the mid palate is fading a little. Just shows there is no hurry at all to drink these single-quinta ports! (JR)
Pretty understated nose – very sweet palate with a long caramel finish. Unfortunately, the fruit seems to be somewhat absent. Aristocratic but over-aged. (RH)
The aromatics on the Quinta dos Malvedos 1965 has little to offer except dusty fruit, a wood resin, dried orange peel and a touch of furniture polish and with time it evolves aromatics not far away from a mature Verdelho madeira. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and has certainly held up better than the aromatics, with touches of ginger, allspice and iron rust. This finish is cohesive and offers more pleasure than the nose suggested. Those born in this year should look here, rather than Bordeaux, to celebrate their birthdays. Drink now. Tasted October 2011.
