The 1935 Vintage Port is another of our oldies this issue. Lusher and far fresher than the other red oldies this issue (the 1924 and the 1880), this has a bit of char on the finish, but not much. Mostly it is complex and prime time. The texture is sensual. Its focused finish is lovely, aided by some power still remaining that lifts the fruit. The grip on that finish is impressive. It is surprisingly sexy for an old Porto, yet it emphasizes finesse, too. I don't know how much longer this has--probably not a long time--but it is wonderful just now. As with most older Ports, there is some history and context. Managing Director Jorge Rosas said: "Between 1919 and 1935, wines made at Ramos Pinto are in fact from one single quinta, from Quinta do Bom Retiro, because it was the only quinta owned by the company. However, the designation for these wines, in today's perspective, is still 'Ramos Pinto Vintage 1935.' The Port Wine Institute would then register these wines in the following years after its creation."
