Common questions about 2006 Port
Was 2006 a good year for Port?
No — 2006 was not declared. A Port house declares a vintage only in years it judges outstanding, and none did so in 2006. That is not the same as a bad year: 1 estate still bottled a single-quinta Port from 2006, which is what houses do in years that are good without being declaration-worthy.
Which 2006 Ports were released?
No general declarations were made. The 2006 bottlings PortDB records are single-quinta wines from Warre's. Each is listed above with its source.
When should you drink 2006 Port?
Every 2006 in the dataset has its own modelled window above. Across all 1 wine, windows open 2016 and decline is modelled from 2046. There is no spread to speak of: every 2006 here comes from a balanced house, a build that takes about 18 years to open — stretched by the strength of the vintage and pulled earlier for the single-quinta wines. To check a specific bottle against today's date, use the maturity tool. These are modelled windows, not measurements: storage and bottle variation move the goalposts.
