| 17.0 / 20 |
Region: Porto
Country: Portugal
Light ruby with a slight garnet tinge, the nose shows some signs of evolution, with raisins and prunes taking center stage along with some spices and toffee.
Feeling quite tamed in the mouth, this is a delicate and elegant wine still showing a lot of fruit, although its age is starting to show in some more tertiary, sweeter flavors. Good finale with some smoke hints and toffee.
Although this is a good vintage, it felt a bit subdued and hidden. Maybe it's going through a sleeping phase right now, as some vintages seem to do.
