Quinta de La Rosa Port 1999

Quinta de La Rosa Late Bottled Vintage 1999

I’ve had this bottle for ages.

Brought it to Boston to drink with BuckyDT, in honor of his homemade Stilton.

Stilton didn’t pan out, so other plans.  Dark chocolate, silly movie.

Deep, maroon color, smells like ripe plums.

BuckyDT says:  “sweet, light, fruity.  Cherries!”  Disagreeing with “velvet” he says “worn cotton t-shirt, like boy cotton, much laundered.”

Bocfretu says: Plums.  Definitely plums.  And velvet.  Feel it in my knees, which is how I know good port and good chocolate.

pair with very dark chocolate.
