Quinta do Noval Tinto Cão

TASTING NOTE
This batch of Tinto Cão enchants with its open ruby color and complex aroma of red cherries, spicy notes and a touch of floral sophistication. The palate is marked by tamed tannins and pronounced acidity, indicating its potential for aging, while complex layers of red fruits and subtle herbs provide a delicious flavor, leading to a polished and long finish.
