Descrizione

Ramos Pinto ci propone un Porto da antologia proveniente dall'iconica Quinta do Bom Retiro. Questo Tawny si distingue per la sua eleganza e complessità, frutto di un invecchiamento medio di due decenni in botti di rovere. Al naso sprigiona un ventaglio di frutta secca, albicocca, cannella e note delicate di legno nobile. Setoso, equilibrato e con una freschezza vibrante che bilancia la sua dolcezza, è un vino sofisticato e persistente, ideale da gustare con dessert a base di frutta secca, formaggi intensi o come calice da meditazione.

Recensioni degli esperti

James Suckling:

Such beautiful harmony of vivid fruit and aged complexity. Expect black tea, persimmons, chocolate, dates, saffron and just a hint of caramel. Medium- to full-bodied and well-knit, this has a lush, lingering finish with a touch of bittersweet oranges at the end. Pure and intense. So delicious now.

Decanter:

Produced with fruit from some of the oldest plots at Quinta do Bom Retiro, this is an elegant and complex tawny. Preserved red and blue fruit infused in Earl Grey tea and laced with cinnamon, nutmeg and aniseed. Dried sage and mint, as well salted caramel and sweet liquorice, add depth and nuance. Long, spicy finish.

The Wine Advocate:

The NV RP 20 Year Old Tawny Port Quinta do Bom Retiro is a single-quinta Tawny coming in with 126 grams of residual sugar and a bar-top cork. It was bottled in February 2020. This seems pretty much on track for what the brand normally shows, but it is especially enticing right now. It shows power, depth and spice. There are classic hints of caramel and a fresh feel. That wonderful freshness is what really sells this elegant Tawny and makes it irresistible. It is impeccably balanced. The lift to the fruit gives this some extra juiciness on the bright finish. On opening, it was a bit more ponderous, but it really woke up a couple of days later. This is pricey for a 20 Year, but it is certainly a terrific one. As always, the end-date drinking window is just a placeholder—these are very resistant and age indefinitely if there is no cork problem, although they are ready on release and do not need aging.
