Tasting notes
Deep ruby colour. Smoky briary fruits and plump sultanas on the nose. Warming and smoky spices show on the nose and are more intense on the palate, but there is a deep structure and rich tannin at this stage. Brambles, black pepper and liquorice on the finish. (TP)

Full bottle 1,400 g. Driven cork was extremely difficult to extract. Deep shaded crimson. More reticent on the nose than the Dow's Quinta do Bomfim 2010 but there is clearly a lot there. Very sweet start with tannin and liquorice on the palate. This is much less evolved than the Dow's 2010 single quinta port. This will probably reach greater heights but I would ideally age it a bit longer. Sweet start but dry finish, though overall its remarkably refreshing and well made. GV (JR)
