Vinha das Romãs 2005

14.5% Dark in color dense and think to look at with big legs. Woody nose with strong smoke notes cassias, and some current, but dense, and needing time to fully open. Nice acidity nice tannins, soft wood, and overall a good mouthfeel. Vanilla, black cherry with some nice floral notes. Needs to open up. The alcohol again is a bit too much on this one at first but really starts to give way to a rich mouthfeel. 2 hours later this wine was juicy and softer in structure. Interesting to see what a couple more years of bottle age will bring. 3.5/5 August 11, 2007 View
