2003 Quevedo Colheita (bottled 2022)

[Alex Bridgeman]

Bottled in 2022 for the advent calendar. Matured in cask. Deep red with a touch of brick in the tone and a medium rim. A lovely rich fruit nose, mulberry jelly, enticing. Balanced entry, plentiful fruit with powerful acidity concentrating the senses. Tannins show at first, but disappear quickly into the dried fruit. Delicious black mulberry on the palate, dark chocolate and a long fruity black liquorice finish. Big and luscious, a lovely wine.
90/100. Tasted 29-Jan-23. Decanted 1 hour.
