Quinta do Castelinho Porto Vintage 2000

Castelinho Vinhos (Portugal)

Porto (Douro)

Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesa
Fortified Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine has a beautiful and intense ruby red color with nuances of purplish red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense and persistent aromas of red berried fruit such as black cherry, cherry macerated in alcohol and blueberry as well as an intense and pleasing aroma of violet and hints of vanilla. In mouth the wine is sweet, alcoholic and round with evident tannins, good balance and correspondence to the nose. The finish is persistent with evident hints of cherry macerated in alcohol and violet. A well made Port although it still has a young character, however the wine has excellent characteristics that give hope for a magnificent bottle aging.
