Quevedo Late Bottled Vintage Port 2003 Half Bottle

HALF BOTTLE 37.5cl

Quevedo Tasting Note

Produced exclusively from the harvest of 2003 and bottled four years later, LBV port is ready for enjoying. Nevertheless, due to its full body, it will continue its ageing process in bottle for many years. Its present shade of deep ruby, characteristic of its early years, will give rise to a lighter ruby colour, similar to that of pomegranate.

Colour: Dark ruby

On the nose: Strong concentration of black fruit such as plum or cherry, with hints of smoke and anise. A touch of violet becomes discernible after a few minutes.

On the palate: smooth and soft with notes of blueberry, earth, raspberry and hints of pepper. Excellent acidity with great length and a sweet finish.

Elaboration: Totally destemmed grapes , followed by a slow fermentation with temperature control up to 86 ºF degrees. Soft filtration. Bottled in December 2007.

Varietals: Touriga Nacional (30%), Touriga Franca (25%), Tinta Roriz (15%) Tinto Cão (5%), Tinta Barroca (5%), Others (20%)
