TN: Secret Spot Moscatel do Douro 40 year old
Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2017 3:33 pm
Found this at a local shop. Never had a Moscatel do Douro of this age.
Maple colored fading to an amber/green rim.
Smoky muscatel aromas, lychee, pineapple, musk melon.
Rich and viscous on the palate with a velvety mouthfeel. Not real sweet. Soft and smooth. Not too intense.
With air, improved quite a bit. Put on weight, gained in intensity and sweetness. Acidity started to come into balance.
Decent finish with more lychee and melon flavors.
93 points. Definitely the best Moscatel do Douro I've had, but I think I still prefer those from Setubal.
