2005 Quinta da Romaneira

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Ruby red with early browning. Attractive nose of bruised red plums. Neutral entry with some gentle fruit but surprisingly light on the palate. The tannins are firm and powerful compared to the fruit but combine to give a disappointing palate. The aftertaste is fragrant and fruity. A very elegant and light style of port. 84/100. Tasted 5 Mar 2015.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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