Quinta do Cotto Reserva 2019

Walnut husks, peppercorns, dried flowers, minerals and ripe Morello cherries on the nose. Juicy and medium-bodied on the palate with fine, chalky tannins and a fresh and long finish. Touriga nacional, tinta roriz and sousao. A refined, rather elegant and delineated Douro that is already very approachable. Drinkable now, but can hold.

From the western end of the Douro Valley vineyards this rich, stylish wine has toast and coffee aromas, leading to ripe black berry fruits and layers of tannins. Drink from 2025.
