Quinta de la Rosa LBV 2006 (Bottled 2010)

Quinta de la Rosa LBV 2006 (Bottled 2010)


Deep purplish ruby colour with a slight grapey nose. This was grapey and sweet but also somewhat harsh and tannic. Perhaps it would have benefitted from a bit longer ageing.

Strong ruby red colour with a soft nose carrying a hint of rich fruitiness. There was a rich and full fruity taste, which was not particularly grapey though. Overall the impression was of a smooth and well balanced port.
