Castelinho - Reserva 2013
Douro
The nose is fruity, elegant, relatively powerful and offers a small righteousness. It reveals notes of blackberry, wild berries and slight hints of morello cherry, plum, cornflower associated with hints of zan, tobacco as well as a hint a cardamom, olive and an imperceptible hint of nutmeg. The palate is fruity, mineral, elegant, well-balanced, round, racy and offers a slight tension, a small suavity, a small fat as well as a slight powerful. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, morello cherry, cassis and slight hints of wild berries, fresh red fruits, chocolate associated with hints of zan, cardamom as well as hints of toasted oak. Good length and persistence. The persistence is nicely gourmand, suave with notes of dark chocolate and a very discreet hint of caramelization.
