2007 Quinta da Romaneira Vintage Port
Posted: 10:42 Fri 22 May 2009
Consumed on 20 May 2009 at The Crusted Pipe in a "bring a bottle to share" and 2007 Horizontal offline.
One of 5 samples of the 2007 Vintage tasted in the mini-offline. The tasting was carried out "double blind" (unusually in the scientific sense, as the test administrator, AHB, did not know what he was administrating to us). Hopefully Derek still has the key of which letters was allocated to which shipper .
The original title of this thread is/was 2007 "A" Vintage Port. Once the shipper is disclosed, it will be renamed.
A was one of the best two samples on the night. Extremely drinkable it was probably the most floral of the samples (although there was also a heavy grapyness). The tannins were quite light; it does make me wonder how long this vintage will last. I would put this second after "E" for drinking now.
