2009 Quinta de la Rosa LBV
Bottled 2013. Solid red colour, 90% opaque. An astonishing nose, full of medicine and elastoplast - very odd. Sour fruit shows on the palate but the medicinal tone also shows through before brutal levels of tannin dominate. The finish is enjoyable but overall this is not a well balanced LBV. 83/100. 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.
