[Stewart T.]

• NV Vinhos Oscar Quevedo Porto Old White Port - Cask 50 - Portugal, Douro, Porto
  Cask sample. 235g/l residual sugar. 5.9g/l acid. 21% alcohol. This wine came from some time in the 1970s. It spent the first 20 years in tonnels (large casks), and then 25 years in 600-liter pipes (barrels). Very dark brown, amber in color with yellow on the edges. Touches of saline, lime, and a hint of spirit on the nose. Wonderful, sweet profile with caramel and some candied tropical fruits. *Part of The Port Guy / Quevedo Virtual Tasting Series. (92 pts.)
