Note for Marquês de Borba 2005

Light ruby red color, like a jewel in it's clarity. First thing I think of on the nose is fresh raspberries from my grandpa's garden, fresh and soft, with notes of oak, leather, clove all subtle and well integrated. The palate continues this trend with a fresh acidty and soft mouthfeel. The raspberries are back but this time they come with light touches of blueberry and dusty oak. Tannins are soft and well integrated. As far as a drinking wine this is a nice treat that is soft enough to pair well with a good pasta dish or lighter meats. October 13, 2007 | Link to this note
