Herdade do Peso Reserva 2004

17/ 20
Producer: Herdade do Peso - Sogrape
Region:Alentejo
Country:Portugal


A very elegant wine in the nose, showing nice jammy fruit notes, a minty/eucalyptus feel in the background and some discreet evolution notes, the slighest note of leather creeping up here and there, contributing to a very intriguing bouquet.


Very alive in the palate, with the typical Alentejo jammier fruit notes very well integrated with the oak backed by a still very fresh acidity. Structured but not heavy, velvety, round tannins permeate the taste that finishes long, elegant and very balanced.


It will still live for a couple of years at least, but right now it's an extremely pleasurable, rewarding wine.
