2005 Krohn Retiro Novo

Post by AHB » 21:40 Wed 28 May 2014

Owned by Wiese & Krohn. Lovely youthful red, 95% opaque. Light, pleasant fruit on the nose that is soft and sweet. Sweet perfumed fruit on the palate. Soft tannins but lovely balance and structure. Lovely density of sweet, perfumed fruit. This has a wonderful elegance to it. Attractive now and with 10-20 years of cellaring potential. 91/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
Top Ports in 2018 (so far): Niepoort VV (1960's Bottling), Quinta do Noval Nacional 1994 and San Leonardo Very Old White (Bottled 2018)
2017 Ports of the year: Fonseca 1927 and Quinta do Noval 1927
