NV S. Leonardo 10 Year Old White Port

[John M.]

I bought a bunch of these in the Dec 2019 buying op, drank them all and bought more in Pennsylvania recently. Must say the decorative tube and bottle are quite handsome--good visual to start. Served somewhat chilled.

Lovely burnt orange color, thick legs as the wine is high on the viscous scale. Super nose--Grand Marnier comes to mind. The taste is awesome--simmered and reduced orange and tangerine, hints of almond & hazelnut paste finishing delicately with a note of butterscotch. So easy to drink--the bottle does not last long. Easily one of the better 10 Year Old Whites I've had.

To me, white Ports are ideal for summer enjoyment. Clean and crisp, served slightly chilled they are ideal on a summer night.

Note: Sometimes listed for sale as Quinta do Mourao
