2011 Quinta do Passadouro

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Inky purple with a medium rim; opaque. Lovely nose full of perfumed fruit; the fruit is soft and perfumed on the palate and has a lovely silky feel to it. The tannins are slow to develop but when they appear they are huge. The finish is of sweet fruit supported by the huge tannins, but the tannins keep a good sense of proportion throughout the immense length. 92-94/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
