Vinhas do Côa 2014 – Douro

The nose is fine and relatively concentrated. It reveals notes of boysenberry and cassis associated with slight hints of blueberry, flint, crunchy strawberry as well as hints of spices and a discreet hint of black pepper. The mouth is fruity, fine, sleek, suave and offers roundness, a good definition, a beautiful texture, a beautiful fat, a slight juiciness, a certain complexity as well as a beautiful expression. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry cream, juicy blueberry and slight notes of plum, crunchy strawberry associated with a slight touch of dark chocolate/cacao, toasted oak as well as a discreet hint of black olive, sweet spices/vanilla and a discreet hint of caramelization. Tannins are a bit dry and young. Good length.
