NV Quevedo Tawny 40YO (bottled 2021)
Posted: 15:29 Mon 18 Jul 2022
From 750ml. 21%. Studied over a period of six days (so far)
On all days a glossy dark reddish brown.
Day 1 - Nose dumb. Palate rich and powerful but overwhelmingly sultana-sweet. Leave.
Day 2 - Beginning to smell like a deep rich fruit cake. Beginning to taste like a deep rich fruit cake.
Day 4 - Smells like a deep rich fruit cake. Tastes like liquidised fruit cake with whiff of extra brandy.
Day 6 - As Day 4, with a bit more rancio.
For me this is a 'one glass of port' port. It is a very impressive wine, and a very nice wine indeed, taken in that quantity but, a bit like some madeiras, is a little bit too intense for a second glass.
