Cedro do Noval 2010 – Douro

The nose is aromatic and fresh. It reveals notes of leather, oak, slight notes of blackberry, small wild berries, raspberry, cassis associated with hints of roasted oak, coffee as well as a very discreet hint of mocha. The palate is fruity, fine, sleek, mineral, well-balanced, gourmand and offers tension, a good definition/expression, a beautiful fat, a good volume, a beautiful juicily of the fruit as well as a beautiful roundness. Nice palate! This wine expresses notes of juicy cassis, juicy blackberry and slight notes of crushed plum associated with hints of crushed strawberry, chocolate, toasted oak as well as a discreet hint of roasting. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length.
