2009 Villa Oeiras Colheita Tinto
2009 Villa Oeiras Colheita Tinto, Carcavelos. Dark orange colour, 30% opaque. A good swirl coaxes some sweet orange marmalade out of the glass. Beautifully balanced on the palate, complex with layers of flavour drifting in and out of focus. The orange is delightful, the balance impressive and the tannins show on the aftertaste…and then an astonishing finishing kicks in which amplifies all the flavours on the palate. Long, flavoursome and impressively rich orange marmalade just keeps on going. A very, very good fortified wine. 94/100. Tasted 10-Mar-24
