2000 Ramos Pinto LBV Port -- unfiltered

[Kris Henderson]

Todd,

It looks like we're holding down the fort this month. Here is a quick taste note on the 2000 Ramos Pinto L.B.V. (bottled 2005, unfiltered). This is my second time with this vintage of the Ramos Pinto LBV. I have also tasted the 1998 Ramos Pinto LBV which I enjoyed very much. The color is dark cherry red. The nose is inviting with brambly fruit and spice. The palate is smooth and rich with supple tannins and good balance. Nicely sweet with a long warm finish. Excellent QPR, good potential for improvement. 90 The more I drink this one the more I like it. I could see this replacing the 1995 Warre as my favorite LBV in a couple years.
