1996 Quevedo Colheita Port

Post by Glenn E. »

Tasted at Andy's Los Angeles/O.C. Offline with Oscar Quevedo.

1996 Quevedo Colheita
Bottled in 2008.

Color: Medium to medium dark ruby/garnet. Plenty of red left, but taking on tawny notes.
Nose: Mellow and sweet red fruits... strawberries and ripe raspberries. Very slight wood note. Perfumed alcohol.
Palate: Smooth, medium to medium sweet. Moderately rich. Lingering spices; cinnamon.
Finish: Even and warm, good length.

Score: 91 points. Very nice for such a "young" Colheita - I think that those who purchased this during the recent FTLOP offering will be very pleased.
