Ramos Pinto LBV 2012 - Unfiltered

Porto

The nose is fresh, fruity, slightly powerful and offers a slight gourmandise as well as a slight richness. It reveals notes of crème de cassis, crushed strawberry and crushed/ripe boysenberry associated with touches of griotte as well as slight hints of chocolate. The palate is fruity, elegant, well-balanced, well-built and offers gourmandise, suavity, a slight acid frame, a good definition, delicacy, power as well as a certain harmony. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crushed cassis, crushed blackberry and touches of ripe Gariguette strawberry associated with hints of griotte, raspberry as well as slight notes of chocolate/mocha, sweet spices, woody notes and a subtle hint of almond on the finish. Good length and persistence.
