This Douro Tinto Reserva, from a strong 2019 vintage, is expected to present an intense aromatic profile of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry, plum, and cassis, complemented by complex notes of spice (black pepper, cinnamon), tobacco, cedar, and vanilla derived from oak aging. Subtle floral hints of violet and a distinct minerality, characteristic of Douro schist soils, may also emerge. On the palate, it will be full-bodied and robust, with a concentrated fruit core balanced by firm, well-integrated tannins and refreshing acidity. Expect flavors of dark cherry, licorice, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee leading to a long, persistent, and complex finish.
