1995 Rozés LBV Port -- “Limited Release”

[Steven Kooij]

Bottled 2000 – traditional style - 15 Euros. The “regular” LBV of Rozés is filtered, but this is a reserve, unfiltered bottling. The regular version was very impressive, almost as good as the Burmester ’95 VP, so I was quite interested to find out how this one would show. Not decanted, but we should have: this way much better after some hours of air. Quite alcoholic, but with some freshness. Light fruit aromas. Very thick, with lots of liquorice and nice grip. A good dark fruit structure. Finish on the short side, and a bit too sweet. 81 initially, upgraded to 85 later in the evening, 87 points the next day. Jummy!
