TN: Vieira de Sousa Semi-Dry Special Edition 10 Year Old White

[Stewart T.]

• Vieira de Sousa Semi-Dry Special Edition 10 Year Old White - Portugal, Douro, Porto (9/28/2021)
  This wine is really a 15-year-old White Port and has been in bottle for three to four years. The grapes used for this wine come from the family vineyards at Quinta da Fonte. Golden yellow in color. Tropical notes with some spices and almonds on the nose. The palate is fresh with some subtle hints of tropical fruits and with a rich, spirity finish. This semi-dry style is nice, but not the style I typically prefer. The lack of sweetness makes this wine seem a little out of balance with the acidity. Very long finish. (90 pts.)

I love this with food such as sushi and tempura.
