1991 Quinta de la Rosa Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:13 pm
Decant: Not Known - Deep red colour, 95% opaque. Youthful nose, closed but revealing a little fresh and sour blackcurrant. Floral, with lots of violets on the palate but wrapped in a very odd soapy tone. Harshly acidic on the tongue and aeration just brings out more soapiness. Hollow on the aftertaste, followed by a bubble-gum finish that slowly changes to a floral / sweet violet flavour. Sweet and sticky. Guessed to be Vargellas '96. 84 points
