NV Quevedo Special Reserve Tawny Port
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2010 3:46 am
After getting home late from work, and being a bit wound-up and not able to fall asleep, I figured what's better than just surfing the Forum....surfing the Forum while sipping on this Port
The baked rhubarb and cherry nose has more depth than many other Tawny's in this category. Medium bodied with an early sweetness that quickly gives way to a lighter sharp acidic streak. I like how this quickly sheds that sweetness, keeping it light on its feet. Some green peppers come late along with a little protruding heat, but in just enough quantities and at the right time to offset the acidity as it starts to become a bit much. I've been sipping on this slowly for the past few days and it's has held remarkably consistent in that time. A very nice Tawny Port that is an easy every-day type quaffer.
