2000 Quevedo Garrafeira (bottled 2021)

Post by winesecretary »

From 90ml. Bottled 2021.

Dramatically different looking from the colheita tasted alongside. Still 90% opaque with a red rim. Glossy. glass-staining.

Smells very youthful and red-fruited. I might have guessed at 2011 from the nose.

That red fruit carries through to the palate but the red fruit has none of the attack I'd expect from a 2011; more refined and smooth, but still youthful somehow.

I really like the way the fairly aged tannins fade on the finish at the same rate as the quite youthful fruit.

I'm quite keen on this.
