NV Quinta da Devesa Tawny 10YO (bottled 2019)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled in 2019. Polished red cedar in colour. Delicious toffee and caramel nose, sweet and slight floral perfume. Slight lavender polish on the palate, a touch of bitterness balancing the late caramel; great levels of acidity with the honey and cranberry all combining to give a wonderful full and rich palate. Sweet, honeyed aftertaste and lovely cinder toffee and caramel finish. Lovely, lovely Port. 92/100. Drunk 27-Jan-21, Decanted 1 hour.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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