2009 Quinta da Gaivosa LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled unfiltered in 2013. Soft red colour, restrained nose showing some attractive soft fruit. Sweet, slightly candied fruit in the mouth; the tannins are strong and not quite integrated to give a slightly odd structure. Delicious fruity chocolate finish of nice length. One to drink or hold. 85/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
