NV Quinta do Vale Meao Olazabal Finest Reserve ruby port
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:23 pm
Just recently arrived in Denmark. No information on the quinta web page.
Decanted 3 hrs. No sediments. Neutral cork with no signs. Deep dark red colour. Aroma of fresh young berries and some floral undertones. Full body. Taste is also full of young berries in a heavy way, a bit “raw” in style due to young berries and thereby also quite tough tannins towards the end. After three hours decanting it became more mellow and actually a bit elegant. Well structured ruby port. Not so bad. 87 pts.
