Quinta da Boavista Vinha do Oratorio 2016 Jeroboam‎

€ 500.00 / 3L

Yet another jewel from Portugal.

Pomegranate of color. Powerful, intense aromas, full of warmth and character. The heath and bush notes make way for sweet red fruits, which occasionally explode with increasing intensity and exuberance in your glass. Secondary tones of dark chocolate and coffee. Lively, consistent and robust tannins that are always present, but never succeed in overcoming the extraordinary balance between red currants and acidity. Very long finish. In short, A harmonious, full and powerful delicious red wine

Also available in Magnum and double Magnum bottles. An ideal gift
