2011 Quinta de la Rosa
Deep purple still, opaque. Soft in texture with a silky entry. The fruit shows very well but the tannins are immense and dominating. There is a nice depth to the fruit and a very chewy finish that carries lots of ripe tannins and modest fruit but has immense length. This has terrific potential but needs several decades. 92-94/100. 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.
