Even more primary fruit than the 2007 Quinta dos Canais tasted immediately prior, with fresh fruit flavors of lime and peach, with mint and wintergreen as well. Swirling reveals more of the menthol/herbal aromas. Later there was some orange aroma as well. Great juicy flavor with strong tannins; grapey, jammy, berry, blackberry, an cassis, more red than black. 92+ points. Later there was some flavor of orange and tangerine too. 93 points?
