- 2009 Vinhos Oscar Quevedo Porto Tinta Roriz Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto
Single varietal Port cask sample. Tasted as part of a virtual tasting with Oscar Quevedo. 187ml bottle. Tinta Roriz can have high tannins but also helps bring complexity to Port blends. This wine is light ruby-amber in color, lacking some of the intense richness of the other single varietal Ports in this tasting. There are lovely smoky, complex red fruit and chocolate notes on the nose. It has a rich mouthfeel and nice red fruit and dried spices on the palate. The tannins are large and likely would benefit from more time to settle down. It has a long finish with Cherry and fresh crushed raspberry. (88 pts.)
