Ramos Pinto, Late Bottled Vintage Port 2017

95 points Decanter
"A regular medal winner at DWWA, this is a traditional LBV from an excellent year. Foot-trodden aged for years in wood before bottling without filtration. This wine has power and depth, with fresh, tight-knit fruit and gentle peppery-spicy grip. It already shows considerable floral finesse but will age and soften in bottle if laid down for another five years."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Blend: 59% Touriga Nacional, 32% Touriga Franca, 7% Tinto Cão, 2% Tinta Barroca. Tasting Notes: A beautifully intense red in color, young and dense. Fresh aromas of raspberry and blueberry refined with a citric touch of bergamot and soft violet notes. In the mouth it is fresh, with the pureness of intense fruit, and prominent aromas of red berries and cherries, fresh lavender notes and a rich finish of chocolate and raspberry. Succulent tannins and remarkable acidity which in turn provide freshness and balance followed by a long finish. Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with game, red meat, cheese soufflé, Serra cheese and other fat cheeses, and chocolate desserts.
