It&#8217;s also relatively affordable compared with other great wines. But there&#8217;s an even better bargain in single-quinta Ports from shoulder vintages &#8211; those that might have been declared had they not been adjacent to already-declared years.<\/p>\n<p>2008 was a really good vintage in the Douro, but most if not all Port houses won&#8217;t declare it. So smart punters opt for the single-quinta Ports. I haven&#8217;t tried the Symington family single-quintas, but I have tried (and drunk) the Taylor Fladgate single quintas, and they are brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>You can read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/douro\/taylorfladgate2008ports.htm\" target=\"_blank\">my full notes here<\/a>. I particularly liked Taylor&#8217;s Quinta de Terra Feita.
