Just like the Lasanta the Quinta Ruban is an improvement over the original 10. Smoother, richer and with less alcohol burn. Quite delicious and I prefer it over the Lasanta which I (on second sip) find a bit bland in comparison. The Quinta is fuller, warmer and more complex with a nice bittersweet mocha chocolate note in the aftertaste. The port also gives a nice 'twang' compared to the sherry note in the Lasanta. I am having a hard time deciding whether I like the Quinta better than the similar tasting Tomatin 14 port wood. They keep playing tricks on me and every time I favor the one over the other for the exact same reasons.
