2012 Dow's Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira

The 2012 Senhora da Ribeira has an opaque color. The nose displays a lot of primal sucrose with creme de cassis, iodine and whole bunches of violets, later boysenberry jam – all very precocious and seductive. The palate is sweet on the entry, a soft and sensual fortified that gently builds in the mouth toward a harmonious finish of blackcurrant, black pepper, sage and Chinese five-spice. This is a clever release from this undeclared year. Drink 2018-2030+ Importer: Premium Port Wines; www.premiumport.com
