2023 Quevedo

Post by winesecretary »

From 90ml. #2 in 2025 Advent Calendar

99% opaque, bright red rim

Nose bursting with young touriga nacional grapes , the usual spearmint and blackcurrant compote notes

Palate is thick and lush and full of berry fruit - tayberry and lingonberry rather than strawberry of raspberry, the acid cut is remarkable

There may be some tannins but if there are they are utterly buried by the fruit even on the finish. No chocolate note at all

Amusing stuff, not for the long haul, but if I was an American sommelier I'd be serving it right now with a dark chocolate dessert
