Sagrado - Vinhas Velhas 2009

Douro

-

The nose is fruity, relatively concentrat­ed and relatively rich. It reveals notes of blackberry cream, crushed cassis and a slight touch of Quetsche plum, strawberry, chocolate, zan as well as a hint of black tea and Cuben pepper. The palate is fruity, mineral, supple and offers fat, an acid frame, juiciness as well as a beautiful definition. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, juicy cassis, slight notes of crushed raspberry and slight hints of wild strawberry associated with small touch of chocolate, a hint a black tea, cardamom as well as a discreet hint of caramelize­d oak and an impercepti­ble hint of pepper in the background. Tannins are slightly dry. Good length. There is powerful in the aftertaste.

Score : 16.5
