Vale de Lobos – Grande Escolha 2013 – José e Violante – Tejo

The nose is fine, fruity and offers elegance, a slight richness as well as gourmandise. It reveals notes of blackberry, blue fruits and slight touches of crème de cassis associated with a touch of strawberry, chocolate touches, caramelization as well as an imperceptible hint of eucalyptus and flowers (after aeration). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a beautiful mineral frame, a slight acidity, suavity as well as delicacy. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crushed blackberry, blueberry and slight notes of plum associated with touches of small red fruits as well as discreet hints of licorice, woody hints, olive and chocolate. Good length.
