TN: 2013 Quevedo Colheita Port

[Stewart T.]

• 2013 Quevedo Colheita Port - Portugal, Douro, Porto (12/1/2022)
  Aged in Burgundy Barrel. Day 1 of the Quevedo 2022 Prestige Advent Calendar. 90ml bottle. Bottled in 2022. This wine was aged in a 228L Burgundy Barrel for five years. It is dark amber-purple in color and mostly opaque. There is noticeable vanilla and oak on the now, with swirls of dusty red fruits and cocoa powder. Intense, luscious entry with notes of cassis and blueberry, when are met by massive tannins on the mid-palate. The tannins start to calm down on the back end of the mid-palate, giving way to a nice, balanced, sweet flavor profile. This wine definitely needs more time for the massive tannins to resolve. (90 pts.)
