Quinta do Coa (Organic) 2003

Post by DRT »

I picked this up in an organic food shop in the UK for £9

A very dark and attractive colour, almost opaque. The nose is quite closed and there are thick tears sticking to the glass. The predominant taste is of blackcurrant and the wine is heavy and very smooth with a nice long finish - just my kind of wine 8)

I think this would benefit from 3 or 4 years in the cellar. It is very dry and tannic which, I think, is hiding lots of great fruity flavours.
