2012 Quinta do Noval
Dense and dark purple in colour with a narrow rim. A fabulous nose full of cornflowers and crab apples. The palate is smooth and full of fresh complex fruits. Lots of grass shows in the cherry and blueberry fruit backed by great tannins. Fruity and chewy on the finish, which is truly amazing. 93/100. Drunk 04-Apr-17. Decanted 4 hours.
