2011 Ramos Pinto
Subdued nose of lavender and violet cremes. Plenty of acidity and tannins which show on day 2, all backed up by good levels of sweet and sugary fruit. Puckering acidity and tannins on the long aftertaste. Rather too dominated by the acidity for my taste but this could promise a long life. 90-92.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
