2004 Casal dos Prazeres Douro Xara
Deep reddish color, with marroon tinge. Nose shows some violet that gives way to blackberry, smoke and light minerals. In the mouth the tannins are strong with a rich medium acidity. Dried out and showing only simple fruit the nose really is the star of the show while the palate lacks a bit of pizazz. Cherry and some spices are the main flavors. In the end a nice wine that just needed a bit more richness on the palate to become a stunning wine.
