2016 Quinta da Romaneira
Posted: 10:56 Tue 06 Nov 2018
Shown at the joint 2016 Preview Tasting organised by SFE, TFP and Quinta do Noval.
1,000 cases produced and available in the UK from Lea & Sandeman. Purple edge to the glass. A delightful nose with wonderful fruit that is sweet and concentrated while also being elegant and beautiful. Satin textured palate, elegant and angelic fruit yet with the acidity needed for long and elegant life. This port is balanced, poised and focused; the tannins needed are in the wine but are overwhelmed by the fruit and acidity. Gentle peppercorn shows on the aftertaste but the overall impression of this port is one of elegant poise. The fabulous long finish highlights the minerality of the wine and gives a perfect finish. Wonderful elegance and refinement. 93-95/100. Tasted 17-May-18.
