道斯洛神園年份波特酒

點擊次數(shù)：5786

A dry style of vintage, bound by its tannins, the black fruits adding an element of freshness to the rich, chunky texture. It has weight, great presence, a powerful dark wine for aging. ——R.V.(12/31/2011)—— 92

Soft, spicy wine, almost tangy in character, with black currant and red cherry fruit flavors and an attractive edge of spice. The acidity gives a lift to the sweetness. ——R.V.(4/1/2011)—— 90

The production of Senhora da Ribeira in 2006 was 69 pipes. It has a very rounded, sensual bouquet with touches of raisin, smoke and violets although it does not quite have the delineation on the nose as Symington’s other 2006 Quintas. The palate is well-defined and supple in texture; sedate and very composed, with a delicate, focused, licorice-tinged finish that could just do with more intensity and “thrust.” However, it has superb harmony and purity. Drink 2020-2040. Tasted October 2011. Importer: Premium Port Wines Inc., San Francisco, CA; tel. (415) 554-9920. Due to be released in 2016.

Closed, dense, quite hot, slightly cooked. Rich, sweet plummy flavours, opulent style, ripe broad tannins and a rich, round finish. Very good.
