Quinta de Lemos "Dona Santana" 2007

$33.00

In our never-ending quest to bring you lovingly cellared mature reds, Dona Santana is an exceptional entry! Quinta de Lemos is known for hanging on to the bottle until they feel they’re in their prime drinking window. They’ve judged the 2007 to be ripe and ready and we heartily agree! Super full-bodied, concentrated and intense, this one has a wonderful concentration of fruit with fine-toothed tannins, and distinct minerality to frame it. Aromas of blackcurrant, aronia berry, cooked blueberry, hibiscus, and fruit leather are closely mirrored by a lush palate of stewed blue and black fruit, a lightly smoky mineral element, and a whiff of cognac barrel. This one is a great fire-place sipper, winter-warmer, or companion to heartier fare from duck breast to burgers or roasts.

Practicing biodynamic. Blend of touriga nacional, tinta Roriz, and alfrocheiro, and jaen. 18 months in neutral French oak. Silgueiros, Dao, Portugal.
