2011 Sequeirinha LBV
Bottling date believed to be 2016. An intense nose of concentrated blood oranges and hinting at the Douro bake encountered in the NV Tawny from the same producer, but much less present. Honeyed fruit shows iteself on entry, with soft tannins and a jellied fruit element. The tannins grow but never get out of balance. The aftertaste is fresh with the tannins being nicely chewy and giving a good length to the finish. Not a bad port. 86/100. 24-May-17.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
