2014 Casa Ferreirinha 'Reserva Especial' Douro
Winemaker Notes: Immerse yourself in the deep ruby hues of this Reserva Especial. The aroma is a symphony of complexity, with notes of red and black fruits, hints of resin, cedar, and the subtlety of a tobacco box. Floral nuances dance alongside a touch of minerality, accompanied by the warm embrace of black pepper and clove. All of this is elegantly intertwined with well-integrated oak. On the palate, you'll encounter intensity, with tannins of exceptional quality and balanced acidity leading to a long and graceful finish.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
James Suckling - "Dark fruit with black cherries, blackcurrants, mineral, and slate undertones. Medium to full body. Racy fine tannins. It’s chewy and driven. This is an undeclared Barca Velha. Superb Douro red. Latour of the Douro. A blend of 42% touriga franca, 34% touriga nacional, 13% tinta roriz, and 11% tinto cao"
