Horácio Simões Moscatel Roxo Single Cask

Post by Mike K. »

Just opened a bottle of Horácio Simões Moscatel Roxo Single Cask.
The bottle states it tends to create sediment. No kidding. The wine is a dark reddish brown, cloudy with sediment, and the bottle has a substantial amount of chunky sediment at the bottom. Drinks like maple syrup. Mild acidity comes in late and builds through the finish. Unbalanced towards sweet, but what a rich mouthful! My knowledge of Portuguese Moscatel is limited, so I won't attempt to score this yet. Will do a full review as I get into the bottle.

Question(s): Does anyone know much about this bottling? How old? Process particulars?

Thx!

No one has had this? Or knows how old the wine in these bottling's tend to be?
