Vieira de Sousa – Vintage 2011 – Porto

The nose is fruity, fresh, concentrated, elegant and offers depthness. It reveals notes of ripe wild blackberry, plum and dried grapes associated with touches of grove, a touch of blueberry, fig as well as subtle hints of menthol. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, straight, precise, frank and offers a beautiful definition, complexity and richness. On the palate this Porto expresses notes of blackberry and crushed cassis associated with fine touches of cherry, raspberry, fig as well as a touch of chocolate, caramelization, grove, eucalyptus (in the background) and a slight hint of hazelnut. Good length.
