Borges Lello 2016 Tinto Reserva

€ 11.70

A wine with a bright, intense red color. An aroma characterized by barrel aging with notes of vanilla and some smoky notes. Evolves into blueberry, fig, menthol and eucalyptus notes. In the mouth it is soft but full of flavor. The tannins give the wine a velvety soft and persistent character. Superb representation of the modern wine style in the Douro.

Food-Pairing

Excellent with spicy seasoned dishes, game, cod and cheese. Due to its elegance, it is also a wonderful wine to enjoy on its own
