For The Love Of Port

Somewhat of a shy nose, but this is relative – as it came right after the astronomical 1868 Lomelino EBH Boal and 1845 Lomelino Quinta da Paz. Quite generous and “giving” on the palate. Definitely on the sweeter side, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was indeed the famed 1808 Malmsey Solera (which had Malvasia Candida grapes from the renown Faja dos Paders vineyard as its base). Complex, luscious, mouth coating and round. Hints of toffee, milk chocolate and vanilla. Probably the best solera I’ve had. (94 points)
