Ramos Pinto – Porto – Late Bottled Vintage 2017 - (75cl)

Very concentrated, dense, lively and quite opaque colour. Young aroma revealing a concentration of red fruits, including a first impact of cherry, currant and prune. In perfect harmony with the fruits, the evidence also of a floral bouquet of rose and a touch of black pepper. It is a wine that stands out for its freshness and balance, with notes of cedar, eucalyptus and berries that give it a notorious complexity on the palate. Silky tannins and a long finish.

Goes well with game, red meats, cheese soufflé, Serra cheese or other fatty cheeses and chocolate desserts.

The LBV is the fruit of a single year. Its richest brother, the Vintage, is bottled in the second year and he in the fourth year. It is softer than Vintage, more evolved, easier to drink, vigorous, provocative, dense and harmonious. The flavors of chocolate and cheese are familiar to him. After opening the bottle, it remains at its peak for another 15 to 30 days, if stored properly. It is an unfiltered wine which can therefore be drunk immediately or stored in the cellar while waiting for the promised complexity.
