Herdade Aldeia de Cima – Reserva 2017 – Alentejano

The nose is aromatic and offers complexity, a small power and a good finesse of the structure. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, crushed blackberry, small notes of crushed violet plum associated with fine touches of violet, black olive, liquorice as well as very discreet hints of tea and local copse. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/mineral frame, a good definition, gourmandize as well as suavity and harmony. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fleshy blackberry, violet plum, small notes of crushed strawberry associated with small touches of crushed cassis, violet, lily as well as subtle hint of chocolate, tea, liquorice and a very discreet hint of copse (in the background). Good length. Tannins are fine, precise and structuring. A fine power on the finish. Gourmandize on the finish/persistence.
