1977 Guedes
Posted: 12:36 Fri 26 Oct 2012
Fortified Friday!!!
Although it appears to me that almost every company has someone named Guedes employed, I have not heard of this brand before. Short cork with only "Vintage 77" on it. I learned that jdaw included this into his mini-77 horizontal in NYC and learned that it is a RCV-VP, which would surprise me as it is quite nice.
Very deep red color, intense viscosity. Rich bouquet with chocolate, white pepper and some underlying freshness. The integrated palate shows a very nice combination of spices, milk-chocolate and some honey and malty notes.
Very pleasant and I guess this will be better with more decanting time. 17/20
