Ramos Pinto Porto Late Bottled Vintage 2012

Blend: 55% Touriga Franca, 35% Touriga Nacional, 6% Barroca, 4% Sousao

The LBV is the result of a single year.  His richest brother, the Vintage, is bottled the second year and he, the fourth year.  It is sweeter than the 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 15 to 30 days, if properly kept. It is an unfiltered wine that can be drunk immediately or left in the cellar waiting for a promised complexity. 

Grapes: Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca.
