Note di degustazione
Full cork-stoppered bottle 1,336 g. Mid, shaded crimson. Much less dense than the Quinta do Noval Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage 2016. Smells like a really ripe dry red wine – from Napa? Pretty hot on the end but much more impressive than Taylor's 10 Year Old Tawny from Waitrose. Frank and direct and full with a dry, quite tannic finish. So sincere! Essence of the Douro. GV (JR)

The 2015 Late Bottled Vintage Port is a typical Douro blend bottled in 2019 with a bar-top cork, 103 grams of residual sugar and 20% alcohol. This is a middle-of-the-road LBV in this vintage. Some have been bigger and deeper. A balanced performance with nothing striking but everything in its proper place, this 2015 is average in concentration and nicely aromatic. It shows average structure. There's just a bit of bite on the finish. Of course, it is very drinkable right now, and that is the idea. You can hold this a few years if you must, but that's very much not the idea. So, dive in.
