1988 Quinta de Roriz LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Cask sample - paired with the regular bottling of the same wine. Deeper in colour than the regular bottling, but thin and transparent. Nose of sugar cane. Very bland in the mouth, then a curious mix of sweetness and bitterness at the same time, perhaps with a little strawberry jam. Weak aftertaste. 77/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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