2001 Quinta do Noval LBV (unfiltered)
Posted: 07:37 Sun 11 May 2008
My first ever unfiltered LBV. This as much a thank you to all of you who recommended it as a record of what I thought. I shared it last night with an army friend. I thought she would appreciate something to remind her of work!
We concluded that this was indeed an excellent LBV and one that we would both be buying in the future.
What struck me was that it was quity 'gloopy' in the glass and yet quite light in taste. Actually an excellent port for drinking on a warm summer evening in the garden. We thorughly enjoyed it and I have a small glass left to see what 24 hours has done for it.
I did notice it is only 19.5% as opposed to 20+ which seems the norm.
