Portugal

Quevedo Special Reserve, D.O. Porto. **HERITAGE WINE**

Colour: very light red with browning edges.
Nose: a bit restraint, but very creamy, soft, sweet and elegant with many impressions of fruit: figs, raisins, some vanillin, a touch of caramel, subtle spices, very refined.
Taste: like the nose: very soft, creamy and unctuous, sweet, velvety fruit, raisins, figs, some spices, caramel, and perfectly balanced. Impressive elegance, refinement and sheer creamy velvet.
Finish: long, soft, sweet and round, with subtle nuances of (hazel)nuts, raisins, figs, vanillin and a soft "tawny" walnut twist at the end.

* This unique Port has the velvety and creamy softness of a great 10 years old tawny combined with restraint but very refined feminine, sweet
fruit of raisins and figs, like in a mature L.B.V.  Very elegant and medium bodied, with medium power, this is a real beauty; a princess.

- Can be drunk now, will keep up to 2010, now at its prime.

- Very good, super soft and elegant Port. If you want power and fruit, forget this Port, if you are looking for nutty tawny aroma's, don't buy this Port, all other Port amateurs will love this beauty.
