This Douro Reserva from 2017 is expected to be a powerful and complex red wine. On the nose, anticipate intense aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry, black cherry, and plum, complemented by notes of exotic spices like cinnamon and clove, hints of violet, and a subtle earthiness. The palate should be full-bodied and concentrated, with a rich fruit core, firm yet well-integrated tannins, and a balancing acidity. Flavors will echo the nose, with additional layers of cocoa, tobacco, or cedar from oak aging. The finish will be long, persistent, and savory.
