Sweet, spicy and reasonably complex, offering dusky
plum, exotic spice and Darjeeling
tea aromas and flavors. The spice and tea flavors linger on the rich, extensive
finish. Drink now.
Shows the heady ripeness of the vintage,
with dark berry, fig, bacony toast and tar aromas and flavors. Stays round and
fleshy though, with no hard edges. Long, fruit- and tobacco-filled finish.
Drink now through 2008. 600 cases made. –JM
100% Loureiro. Stainless steel fermented.
Balanced floral and fruity aromas, typical of well-ripened grapes from the
Loureiro variety. Has an excellent body, a smooth, yet slightly crisp taste, a
fruity palate and a persistent length. Organic. (Vinho Verde, Portugal)
