Posted: 22:32 Sun 13 Nov 2022
A cask sample drawn about 6 hours before being tasted.
Andresen 1968 cask sample: the wine comes from the Pesqueira area, between Vale Dona Maria and Vallado. Molasses and honey nose with some vinagrinho. Balanced, lighter and fresh on the palate. Nice rose hip and redcurrant jelly with a touch of spearmint. Clean aftertaste, wonderfully dry with honey and tannins and generous grapefruit oil. A very elegant structure without sacrificing any intensity of flavour or structure. 95/100. Tasted 14-Oct-22.
