THE WINE ADVOCATE (89 - 91) points
Drink Date 2023 - 2045 - "The 2015 Vintage Port was not quite bottled when seen, but it was the final blend and it is a declared vintage for La Rosa. It is a field blend from old vines, with 102 grams per liter of residual sugar. This has lovely fruit—it's succulent and delicious—but the concentration and structure are not as impressive. Open for a day or so in various ways before tasting, this still does well by showing off that 2015 flavor profile I've come to love—exuberant intensity of fruit but always lifted, fresh and nicely defined. There is nothing sloppy here. There is reasonable power and just enough depth. It won't, perhaps, be a great Porto, but the price is nice and it won't disappoint. This will be early maturing in all likelihood. Then, it should easily last for a few decades from the vintage date. Of course, it tastes so good now, you might give it a try. Don't feel too guilty."
