Quinta da Devesa Reserve Red

- The nose is aromatic, concentrated, and powerful. It reveals notes of cassis, blackberry, and subtle hints of liquorice associated with notes of black mulberry, small wild berries, and notes of flowers, olive trees/garrigue, mineral spice, mocha, spices, Ceylon tea, and Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, and juicy, with tension, finesse, and some minerality. On the palate, it expresses notes of wild blackberry, wild cassis, and subtle notes of strawberry and dark notes, associated with notes of flowers, olive/garrigue, fresh/juicy blueberry, tonka bean, as well as many sweet toasted hints and an imperceptible touch of Sichuan pepper. The tannins are firm and slightly nutty. Good persistence with notes of tonka bean and a very discreet touch of caramelization.
