TN: 1992 D’Oliveiras Boal

[Eric Menchen]

(Bottled 2024, 94 g/l RS, 7.93 g/l TA.) Great clarity, ~17 SRM. The first whiff is pretty subtle, but it does smell musty with some brown sugar, dark brown sugar. The taste has sharp acidity with straightforward sugar; overall a nice balance. The body is medium-light. The acidity suggests lemon or perhaps even grapefruit. With time the sugar become more prominent. 93-94 points.

I tasted this earlier in the year, albeit from an earlier bottling, and got a lot more different aromas than on this day.
