tannin and palate persistence round out this French gem

Very solid effort but one that could be broached fairly early

The fruit is so rich and lively that you’d swear this one has a lot more residual sugar

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points - A delicate aroma is slightly fruity and floral

Made with Zinfandel

Quinta de la Rosa Douro Tinto 2016 skus_0417040 000062040 08114 tannin and palate persistence roundThis is a ripe wine full of broad black fruits. Smoothed by the wood aging and with plenty of acidity to balance, it is rich and structured. The tannins in this wine from the de la Rosa estate are already enmeshed in the fruit. This wine could be drunk now for its fruit, although it will be better from 2019. Tart cherries, prunes, and spice on the nose. Drinkable basic port. Flavors of dried cherries, prunes, spice. Finish of prunes, and cooking spice
