Quinta do Noval 2008
Douro
The nose is aromatic and elegant. It reveals notes of blackberry, grilled oak and fine notes of wild fruits combined with hints of mocha, tobacco and a discreet hint of gray pepper. The mouth is fruity, mineral, fresh, well structured, relatively powerful and offers a mineral frame, a nice finesse, generosity, a nice fat, a nice roundness as well as a beautiful, silky, fleshy and gourmande matterl. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry cream, fleshy Quetsche plum and fine notes of red berries combined with a touch of raspberry as well as touches of chocolate, grilled oak and spicy notes. Good length and persistence.
