2003 Quinta de Roriz Vintage Port
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 6:26 pm
I opened a bottle of this just a few days ago. Here's my note:
- 2003 Quinta de Roriz Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (1/16/2006)
The color is intensely dark purple. Opaque even at the very edge of the glass. A nose of very ripe fruit, raspberry, blackberry, grape, blueberry. A slight hint of coffee and chocolate. On the palate the tannins seem to have a dual nature. Sometimes very smooth, other times mouth puckeringly bitter. Medium sweetness and enough acidity to balance all the alcohol, fruit, and tannins. Some heat on the nose but very little on the long finish though the finish is warm. (91 pts.)[/*:m][/list:u]
