1947 Rebello Valente VP
Posted: 13:44 Fri 20 Mar 2009
Drunk at TCP with AHB and UncleTom on the 17th March 2009. Apparently finished the next day by AHB, Benread and Christopher.
I believe that this was my first Rebello Valente. This bottle had a perfect label; like on of those old-style Cockburn's. Unfortunately it was leaking which is why its demise was planned for this night.
I didn't take any notes at the time, but from memory, a few days latter, there was a lot of spirit showing, both on the nose and the mouth, and, unfortunately, most of the fruit had faded away. I do wonder how much the leaking has contributed to this, or whether the spirit would blow off the next day.
