Tasting notes
The 2011 Quinta de la Romaneira consists of 80% Touriga Nacional. It has an open, more approachable bouquet compared to the Quinta do Noval, with clove and dry tobacco infusing the carapace of black fruit, and hints of iodine developing with aeration. The palate is very smooth on the entry with a dash of white pepper and ginger. It is very harmonious with a slightly viscous mouthfeel and a beguiling gentle build to its marmalade-infused finish. The exoticism here is very attractive, though I suspect that will ebb away as the Port matures. Tasted May 2013.

Mid to dark crimson. Fragrant, almost rose petal aromas. It came as no surprise to read that Touriga Nacional comprises 80% of this wine. Pure, wild and lifted – this is not one of the most concentrated 2011 vintage ports but it is very charming. Sweet at the beginning and quite dry on the finish. Delightful freshness. This is a wine I pcould do imagine sipping in the Douro, less so in the clubs of St James's. (JR)

Very fresh aromas of oranges, violets and fresh black cherries. Some slate. Full-bodied with firm and fine tannins that run the length of the port. Bright and tight. Attractive now and will age beautifully.
