TN: 2013 C.V. Curriculum Vitae (Van Zeller) Douro red
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2021 7:58 am
Winemakers Christiano van Zeller and Sandra Tavares.
Decanted 4 hrs, which was perfect. Deep purple colour with a light rim. Aroma was really Douro, with the wonderful mix of fruit, oak and minerals. Full body. Powerful. Nice portion of minerals (good tannins) without being overwhelming. Wood in the background. On the dry side. Medium length aftertaste. 93 pts.
