Vintage 1988

Port Vintage: A disastrously small vintage that saw most quintas losing 50% of their production, and some as much as 70%. No declarations were made, and only a handful of Single Quinta Vintage Ports were produced. They are best for drinking fairly young, rather than ageing.

Written Notes

The 1988 Boal, bottled in 2018, has quite an elegant, floral bouquet of honeyed biscuit, linseed, ginger and saffron notes, opening nicely with aeration to reveal a touch of dried orange peel. The palate is finely balanced and displays good acidity. This Boal is discreetly spiced with hints of toffee apple and Seville orange marmalade on the viscous, persistent finish. Excellent.
