2018 Burmester Arnozelo
A very different style from the Kopke Sao Luiz. This wine shows beautiful sweet redcurrant on the nose. Powerful acidity on the palate promises a very long life. Gentle tannins in the sour blackcurrant fruit; nice floral undertones. Lots and lots of acidity. This is a much more elegant style of wine which has the acidity to age for many decades. This wine highlights elegance over fruit, but is a very fine wine which is simply wonderful to drink right now. 90-92/100. (Tasted over 5 days to allow the wine to develop and show its full structure.)
