Is this 2015 Quinta do Mondego ready for the retirement home? Roger Voss of the Wine Enthusiast is my go-to wine writer and when it is Portuguese wine in the glass we almost always agree with descriptors and scores. He reviewed the wine 31December2023 giving it a 92 noting it could drink through 2027.
Its murkiness almost equals a write off unless of course it might be unfiltered wine.
The aroma still retains a good deal of blackberry but the blueberry has gone sour and the stewed rhubarb which one can discern in some Port is out of sync here. The tannins are enormous barricading the fruits’ appearance. Chalky and brackish.
This wine has slid far down from a Roger Voss 92. Wines from the Dão rarely disappoint but this wine has outstayed its welcome. It should be retired from active service.
