This wine reveals an intense ruby colour, with deep violet reflections, appearing clear and bright in the glass. On the nose, it reveals a remarkable aromatic complexity, with nuances of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, harmoniously intertwined with subtle notes of vanilla, coming from the aging in French oak barrels. The floral nuances, especially of violet, add a layer of sophistication to the bouquet.
On the palate, it displays a remarkable and balanced structure, with present but silky tannins, giving it a velvety texture. The well-integrated acidity highlights the vivacity of the red fruits, while the flavors of spices, such as black pepper, blend delicately with the wood, providing additional complexity and a long and persistent finish.
This example displays remarkable elegance and excellent capacity for evolution in the bottle. With promising aging potential, it is suggested to age for a few more years in the cellar to allow for an even more refined expression.
This wine reveals a sublime harmony between fruit, wood and structure, standing out for its aromatic complexity and silky texture. It is an example that reflects the care and dedication of Quinta do Couquinho in producing superior quality wines.
