2008 Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo

Post by DRT »

Cask sample tasted blind in June 2010 as part of this review

Deep ruby red with strawberry jam and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Smooth, with lots of redcurrant and unripe plums. Not a massive wine but very pleasant to drink now and will probably be ready for drinking in 10-15 years. 86 points.
