The 2011 Quinta de la Romaneira consists of 80% Touriga Nacional. It has an open, more approachable bouquet compared to the Quinta do Noval, with clove and dry tobacco infusing the carapace of black fruit, and hints of iodine developing with aeration. The palate is very smooth on the entry with a dash of white pepper and ginger. It is very harmonious with a slightly viscous mouthfeel and a beguiling gentle build to its marmalade-infused finish. The exoticism here is very attractive, though I suspect that will ebb away as the Port matures. Tasted May 2013.
