TN: 1910 Barbeito Boal
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:37 am
Bottled 10/1996, in the decanter two days.
Copper, gold, green color. Initially upon opening a bit of bottle stink, but this blew off after a day in the decanter.
Smoky, citric, pralines on the nose. An umami component as well.
Not particularly sweet, but with huge acidity. Tangerines and limes. Could pass for a sweeter Verdelho except for the smokiness and savoriness I associate with Boal.
Long finish of limes and caramel.
93 points
