Richard Kelley has just published on his site an assessment of the 1989 vintage based around a tasting in several flights of 70 wines from this fine vintage. Click here.

I'm still continuing to write up the trip to the Douro and have now finished here my report on the excellent vertical of Cristiano van Zeller's Quinta Vale D. Maria vertical from 2001 to 2007. Niepoort yet to come but in a separate post.
