2014 Ramos Pinto Bom Retiro
From Ramos Pinto. Deep maroon colour, opaque. Gentle and floral nose. Smooth entry with gentle acidity and modest green tannins. Modest fruit on the palate with gentle red cherry and floral perfumes. An icing sugar and orange water presence shows up on the long and elegant finish. This is very much an elegant style of port but with some good green tannins that deliver a great finish. 89-89/100. Drunk 07-Nov-16.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
