Still remarkably youthful. Wow! Super rich, touch of smoke and cheese rind, but that remarkable frehness and length and complexity. Savoury, sappy, super elegant. Very close to perfection. In fact, f*** it, how much better does wine get than this? Amazing length.\u201d As he scored it with 100\/100. The first classified on the Moscatel category, Jos\u00e9 Maria de Fonseca Moscatel de Set\u00fabal Apoteca 1902, is described by Jamie Goode like: \u201cVery deep brown colour. Hugely concentrated in the glass. Volatile, lifted nose is hugely aromatic with notes of herbs, treacle, Christmas cake, spice and old wood. The palate shows incredible concentration. It\u2019s viscous, amazingly concentrated and lively, with the acidity concentrated along with all the other flavours. Spicy, almost eternal finish. Massively concentrated with flavours of Christmas cake and tar. A remarkable experience.\u201d He gives it 98\/100 Get to know all of Tim Atkin and Jamie Goode\u2019s reviews on the taste.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were some excellent reviews about the fortified wine tasting that occurred at the Pousada de Linhares da Beira, last Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-sem-categoria"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12681\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viniportugal.leadershipbt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
