TN: Conceito by Barbeito Porto Branco

Post by Eric Ifune »

I've never had this before. I can't seem to find it in the States so brought a bottle back from Portugal. A joint collaboration between Rita Ferreira Marques of Conceito and Ricardo Freitas of Barbeito Madeira.
Lote 2 bottled May 2016.
Brilliant pure gold with greenish highlights. Very aromatic with apples, pears, and almonds.
Rich and full bodied. Very nutty with walnuts and hazelnuts. Apple sauce. Waxy. Very fresh. Not real sweet but dense with excellent balance. A long finish with apple cider and nuts. I like this. 92+ points.
I don't know how long in cask, but at least as good as the Kopke 20 year old Branco.
