1994 Quevedo Colheita (bottled 2023)
Q94c, bottled in 2023 in 10cl format for the 2023 advent calendar. Deep ox-blood red, 90% opaque. Remarkably closed on the nose, perhaps a little date and blood orange. A little thickened on the palate, powerful acidity riding over a toffee and molasses core. The acidity resolves to a glorious orange within the sweet molasses. Spicy black peppercorn on the aftertaste, then a long cinder toffee finish. Delicious. 93/100. 02-Jan-24. Pop 'n' pour.
