Herdade de Sao Miguel – Alicante Bouschet 2015 – Vinho Regional Alentejano

The nose is aromatic, gourmand, slightly concentrated, slightly powerful and offers elegance. It reveals notes of blackberry, fleshy strawberry, ripe redcurrant and a touch of fresh raspberry combined with touches of racy minerality, garrigue, black olive as well as a hint of cuben pepper and a touch of discreet hints of spices. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, well-built, precise, very discreetly tight and offers fat, elegance, a beautiful guideline, a good structure, a (very) slight concentration as well as a beautiful and juicy / fresh fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy / fleshy raspberry, cherry and small notes of crushed redcurrants associated with small touches of cassis, hints of olive tree, eucalyptus, toasted hints, caramelization, vanilla and an imperceptible hint of crushed hazelnut (in the background). Good persistence. There is a hint of tonka bean on the persistence.
