Quinta do Ataíde Vinha do Arco TN Bio Douro Tinto 2016

20,85 €
Aromas of roses (a Touriga Nacional hallmark) mingle with fresh, balsamic notes of pine needles and a nuanced fragrance of mint. The seamlessly integrated wood lends subtle traces of vanilla. Very appealing freshness on the palate with fine acidity and rounded tannins highlighting the bright and focused ripe black fruit flavours. Compact and taut, the bottle-ageing is showing this wine at its best, although it will continue to develop favourably for several years yet.
