Most interesting wine: Austrian White Syrah with 190gr of sugar...Incredible
Question that arose while down there that someone here might be able to answer: Is there a Port wine that is dessert style that is not fortified? Anyone know?
here are the LBV notes:
- 1999 Poças Porto Late Bottled Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (6/2/2006)
Deep purple in color. The nose is a mix of smokey wood, allspice and hidden fruits. Strong acidity helps to cleanse the sweetness from becoming heavey on the palate where cherries, black raspberries, anise, and minerals all mingle. 3/5 - 1999 Quinta de la Rosa Porto Late Bottled Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (6/2/2006)
Deep reddish in color. The nose is a mix of dusty minerals, anise, and dark cherries. Rich in the mouth a strong acidity that gives way to allow flavors of smoke, anise, like clove, chocolate, and black raspberry come out. 3/5 - 2000 Ramos-Pinto Porto Late Bottled Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (6/2/2006)
Dark color with a nose that shows wood, dry spices, and currants. Very dry in the mouth with some red fruits, though I think this might be an off bottle. 2/5 - 2000 Royal Oporto (Real Companhia Velha) Porto LBV - Portugal, Douro, Porto (6/2/2006)
Deep in color the nose is alive and seems to jump out of the glass with grape, blackberry, and cherry notes. Rich and unctous with a high acidity and firm fine tannins. Black fruits, light clove and more are well layered on the palate. Nice wine! 4/5
