Quinta da Devesa Reserva Red

Matured for 18 months in new barrels of French oak and a minimum of 12 months in the bottle. The nose is bold, concentrated, and powerful, revealing notes of cassis, blackberry, and hints of licorice, along with hints of strawberry, small berries, and flowers, olive trees, spicy minerality, mocha, spices, Ceylon tea, and Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, and succulent, with tension, good acidity, and some minerality. In the mouth, this wine expresses notes of wild blackberry, wild cassis, and small notes of strawberry and black cherries, combined with notes of flowers, olive tree, fresh blueberry, and tonka bean, as well as very subtle toasty touches and an imperceptible touch of Sichuan pepper. The tannins are firm and slightly dry.
