2003 Quinta do Vale Dona Maria LBV (unfiltered)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled unfiltered.

Deep red and opaque. Nosing of soft red fruit and rose petals. Soft in the mouth with restrained fruit and gentle acidity; tannins are restrained. Pleasant aftertaste of moderate length. Not a special LBV and one to be drunk sooner rather than later. 84/100. Drunk 6 December 2010 with no decanting.
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!
