NV Quinta das Lamelas White 10YO (bottled 2018)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Quinta das Lamelas 10 Year Old White, bottled 2018 and served from the fridge: deep golden amber colour, 20% opaque. A wonderful nose of honey and orange blossom, sweet and delicious. A wonderful thickness to the texture, deep and rich full of honey and tinned peaches. Just delicious, and with wonderful development of flavour yet with the acidity to make this a wine which you can sip glass after glass. The aftertaste is magnificent with the peaches and honey growing and then fading to a creme brûlée finish of lovely length. Served straight from the bottle. 90/100. Drunk 30-May-2020. Pop and poured.
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!
