1992 Quevedo Colheita (bottled 2021)

Post by winesecretary »

From 90ml

P'n'P

Orange rimmed mahogany tint.

Nose of woody varnish and star anise.

Very sweet wine on first impact in mouth, dark muscovado.

But resolves quickly to a hint of something with exotic perfume - tinned guava, I think - with a nice sharp/sweet balance.

Then a little later the dark muscovado sweetness starts to dominate again.

Then some white pepper, very late.

Ultimately not more than very pleasurable. I preferred the slightly brutish 2004 with which I compared and contrasted it tonight.
