Quinta da Pacheca LBV 2012 Bottled in 2016
This wine was last tasted at the Quinta in 2016 soon after being bottled. It wasn't half bad then so it will be interesting to see what difference four plus years further ageing in the bottle adds to the experience.
There was a deep ruby colour with a touch of plumminess on the nose. Tasting revealed a smooth and fruity wine but without a lot of depth. Whilst it was easy drinking and went down nicely with our chocolate cup cake dessert I can't say that it was particularly outstanding. It's probably at the limit of its development and needs drinking right away if you have any knocking about.
