NV Quinta das Lamelas +40 years white port
Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2015 6:16 am
50 cl bottle. Age is apparently well above 40 years. Bottled 2011. Decanted 0.5 hr.
Dark amber colour. With a lighter rim and actually a touch of light green on the top. Aroma of bitter almonds, apricot, wood, cardamom, and tiny bit spirit. Full body.
Silky, elegant start. Taste is showing nice sweet fruit (incl mandarins), some power, apricot and figs. A sweet style with orange overtones towards the end. Medium long aftertaste. We liked it so much that we purchased 12 bottles. 95 pts.
