2010 Offley LBV Port

Post by Scheiny S »

Offley 2010 LBV $13.99
Tasted 2/14/2017
Bottled 2014
Not decanted

Color: black with glints of ruby deep in the bowl
Rim: magenta
Clarity: clear [though so dark it was opaque. I figure clarity refers to whether there was sediment; there was none.]

Body: light

Nose: Flowery, mint, citrus, strawberry, faintly smokey

Taste: fruit: grape, strawberry

Mouthfeel:
-Acidity: little
-Tannins: little
-Sweetness Type: medium sweetness, hit early. tasted simple [like simple syrup, sugar, not artificial or fruity]
-Finish: short .

The alcohol doesn't show until late and isn't very hot.

Conclusion: This is a nice, sweet, simple Port. I enjoy it.
Would I drink this again? Absolutely.
Would I buy it again? Yes, especially for this price

Do you know if this was filtered or unfiltered?

bottled in 2014.

it doesn't say whether it's filtered. that means it was, right?

thanks for reminding me to add those points. i'm still new to writing these, any advice is welcome.

Nice note. It doesn't sound like something I need to go search for, but for that price I would certainly be happy.

Yes, that price easily puts it onto the good QPR list.
