2018 Quinta do Mourao (S. Leonardo)

Post by winesecretary »

1 hour decant

98% inky black with a glorious crimson rim

Nose of cool blue fruits with a distinct herby garrigue prickle from the aguardiente

Palate cycles from absolutely masses of blackberries at first, through blackberry and apple pie with a nice sugar-glazed shortcrust pastry, to Lindt 85% on the finish.

I'm drinking it far too young but it's great fun. And will be very nice port sixteen years hence albeit not for the super long term.

Consumed in part 20/3/23
