2005 Quinta do Passadouro LBV (unfiltered)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Traditional, bottled 2009. Young on the nose, full of violets and youthful fruit. Soft entry, with mid-palate tannins that grip and support the generous levels of fruit. The tannins are firm, but not dominating. This has a lovely finish, long and full of fruit. Fine LBV. 87/100. Drunk 13 October 2011.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
