1917 Colheita Carcavelos (Generoso) Luiz Simoes Marques 17,6% 75cl

Possivelmente engarrafado decada de 60.

Probably bottled in 60’s.

“Luis Simões Marques Vinho Generoso 1917 was a strange wine in its categorisation, but a frigging fantastic one in the glass. We aren’t sure if it is Carcavelos, because three other wines are allowed to be called Generoso, and we hadn’t managed to find info on the producer.
But it was a fantastic wine. There was a deep, toffeed scent like in a great 20 or 30 YO Tawny port, but with a unique savouriness to it. It was complex and fresh despite the obvious sweetness. The palate was sweet and deep and had better acidity than Port ever seems to have, with some lovely rancio notes. Brilliant stuff. 90 years age seems to pretty appropriate for this wine!”
