2009 Quevedo Sample Tinta Roriz
Posted: 10:52 Fri 23 Sep 2011
Tasted at Single Varietal Vintage Port & a Gould Campbell 1985. Links to other tasting notes:
Much less colour in that Touriga Francesca. Some fruit on the nose but gentle. In the mouth sugary round fruit. Very pleasant to drink. Rather inoffensive an unexciting except for a slightly astringent aftertaste. I can see the attraction for using this as a base for a blend of Port with a little of the other varietals to flesh out the bouquet and palate since it was the most pleasant to drink unmixed.
