Non Vintage Tasted: Mar 2013
Ramos Pinto is famous for a making a mix of single-quinta ports in essence expressing the singularity of each site. The 20 Year Tawny comes off several blocks from one of the oldest vineyards in the Douro region, the Quinta do Bom Retiro. The blend averages 20 years and you can see it the moment you pour the pale tawny red/orange liquid into your glass. The nose is an intriguing mix of fruits – apricot, and grapefruit with nuts and cocoa. Add some spice and caramel and a twist of oxidation and you have a complex long sophisticated port you can sip all night long. Serve, cool, before or after dinner. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe).
