NV Quinta das Lamelas Tawny 20YO

Post by winesecretary »

I must confess I have no tasting note on this other than 'very pleasant'. But I must plead that this was the third 'bonus bottle' of a night among a fairly small group. I do remember that the donor was a good sport on being presented with a blind tasting challenge. Tasted 21/05/19.

A contribution to an offline from Maria Tita of Quinta das Lamelas. Bottled 2018. Dark ochre colour with a green rim, 30% opaque. A lovely expressive nose with lots going on - fragrant orange and kumquat. The fragrance continues onto the palate, which is sweet and nicely balanced. Hints of tannins give a gentle grip on the aftertaste before the honey follows through. Lovely Port, very easy to drink. 89/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
