Quinta da Corte, Late Bottle Vintage
$46.99
A deep ruby red in color, this LBV immediately reveals aromas of fresh black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by cherries, and displays a fine maturity. The palate develops complex flavors, amongst which cocoa and mint stand out. Meaty, very well balanced and with great length, it builds on a finely formed structure with elegance and superb volume. The full, fruity finish, lightly mentholated, adds great coherence to the whole.
Vinified in open vats with punching-down done by foot; aging in wooden casks.
Aging: Old wooden foudre of 6,000 liters
Bottled: April 17, 2019
