1990 Quinta de la Rosa LBV
Posted: 11:37 Tue 05 Mar 2024
The second of two near identical bin-end bottles supplied free of charge by a kindly wine merchant. Apparently previous non-bin-end bottles were quite nice.
Opened and double-decanted at 0800 on the morning of the Aged LBVs tasting.
Had leaked in transit, so was upper-shoulder. Clear glass bottle which showed the lack of colour and loads of sediment.
Proper driven cork which, whilst pretty much saturated, came out in one piece.
QA sample indicated that it was still port but only just.
Will be included in the tasting for information purposes only.
