Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
no Port that I can detect at first nosing and to be frank, that’s very good news. In fact, it’s closer to some Sauternes finishing such as Glenmo’s. A lot of juicy ripe apricots and oranges, then more honey and pollen, touches of quinces… And bags of ripe peaches. Wasn’t it white Port? It’s a very pleasing nose, fresh and fruity, with good presence. After a few minutes: more oak, old wine cellar, a faint mustiness (and humus) and quite some white chocolate. Slightly mushroomy
restaurant Palate
less smooth and rounded than on the nose, with rather more oak and leather. Bitter chocolate, pepper, cloves (a lot), gingerbread… Orange liqueur as well, tea… And marmalade. Again, very little red wine here apart from some tannins, but that’s more the wood I guess. After a few minutes: touches of black cherries and blackberries (ah, the Port!)
timer Finish
medium long, with more red wine this time but we’re rather closer to pinot noir than to touriga in my opinion
