NV Quevedo Tawny 30YO (bottled 2021)

Post by winesecretary »

From 90ml

19.5% (as are most Quevedo ports)

P'n'P

A middling brownish pink, orange rim.

Rancio nose, nudging towards the sherry spectrum, nuts and dried figs.

A bit light on the palate, caramel and butterscotch, slightly hollow finish. Some sultanas, very late.

Offers less than I was hoping for from the nose.

+24hrs.

Still hollow in the mid-palate. Can't help thinking this would have benefited from a 10% addition of the 40YO tasted alongside to fill that out.
