Borges Tinto 2017 Quinta da Soalheiro

€ 10.50

This red wine presents an initial floral aroma of violets with some mint, but also strawberry and blackberries in a very well integrated set with some spiciness such as pepper and cloves from the wooden barrel maturation. On the palate it has a very tasty and fresh attack characterized by notes of strawberry, full-bodied and soft tannins, in a long and persistent finish
