TN: NV Poças Colheita Quinado

[Stewart T.]

• NV Poças Colheita Quinado - Portugal, Douro, Porto
  This Port style is reminiscent of the Ports made in the 1940s for troops in tropical climates where quinine was added to the Port to ward off malaria. It has a nose of vanilla and Dipstick stick (similar to confectioners’ sugar). This is a unique wine that has been engineered to be drinkable. Touch of vanilla and vinho liquoroso on the palate. This is a sweet wine - not like the old barrels of 1940s Quinado at Anderson lodge, but more of a commercial version of those wines. (93 pts.)
