2008 Quinta das Tecedeiras Colheita (bottled 2016)
Bottled 2016. Red-brown mahogany in colour, 60% opaque. Unusual nose, distinctly smelling of marmite! Sweet entry, bland and one-dimensional with hints of light honey. The mid-palate is a little better but starts to show a hot / burnt elastic tone. Not one to seek out if this is a typical bottle. 76/100. 06-Nov-17.
