2000 Quinta Seara d'Ordens

[winesecretary]

Bottled 2002

Appalling cork, half of it turned to dust

Not much sediment on decanting.

+30mins

97 per cent opaque, red rim

Nose heavy on the fruit all blueberry and blackcurrant with hint of sweetness

Palate congruent with cool wash of blueberry fruit with a very smooth congruent finish with a little cinnamon spice very late.

While not in the top rank of 2000 VPs this is very pleasant drinking now

At the rate of a glass a night, the last of this consumed on 12/7/22.

It held up very well over a week, only becoming a little plummy on its sixth and seventh days.
