1998 Ramos Pinto LBV (unfiltered)
Posted: 15:45 Fri 31 Aug 2007
Rich violet color; dense with a light oily sheen. Lush mouth feel. Really dark and has a caramel alcohol nose. Very peppery and refined with watermelon notes detected. Nose still exhibits acetone notes but should blow off. Fine sediment in strainer; this LBV should have a grand aging life. This is a great unfiltered LBV that could be one of the best on the market. Shelf price was $13.99 USD. 89 Points.
