WINE & LIFESTYLE REPORT
Casa da Palmeira Reserva 2007 DOC Douro Red
Tasted on July 2011
Appearance - clear, medium plus intensity ruby colour.
Nose - clean, medium plus intensity youthful aromas, showing sweet spice, a slight strawberry seasoning over dark berry fruits, mainly blackcurrant and blueberry and on the background some violets and a leafy note.
Palate - dry, medium plus acidity and tannin with a medium alcohol level. A full body with medium plus flavour intensity also focused in a red and dark berried fruit mix and some sweet cinnamon spice.
Conclusions - (15,5/20) Good quality, mid priced (€8,50), ready to drink but can improve, although I really don't see the point of waiting, very approachable right now, a very good fruit concentration, which is the main focus here, round but lively tannins and nice acidity. Well structured with good drink-ability.
