NV Ramos Pinto Quinta do Bom-Retiro 20 Year Old Tawny Port

96 POINTS

Huon Hooke

Pale tawny/amber colour: genuinely old looking wne. Marvellous bouquet of great complexity and mellow savouriness. Superb flavour, very complex and multi-layered, and it has real elegance - it's not a fruit bomb nor carying too much sweetness, and it's not a big wine. Very long and fine. A stand-out wine, fairly dry aftertaste within the context of the genre.

Decanter

A powerful and expressive perfume of honey, tar and burnt orange flows from the glass, with a macerated cherry and nut complexity on the palate. It still has chew to it alongside freshness and nice vivacity.

Very rich and full of pure-tasting flavors of toffee, butterscotch and caramel, with light fruity notes of dried cherry and apricot. There's a long, glorious finish of hazelnut and cream. Drink now. 2,500 cases made.

This Port shows plenty of caramel, egg yolk and slightly salty character. Full-bodied, with a big impact on the palate of toffee, candied fruits and honey. Very long finish. Excellent. Ramos-Pinto is a master of old tawnies. Drink now.
