The Douro white 2004 was more shy on the nose but still complex with white flowers tone as dominant flavours with nice fresh almonds and exotic fruits like white peaches. Mouth was really balanced, showing ripe fruits like pears and apple intemixed with grassy flavours as in the Loire Sancerre but with some buttery/nutty edges like Burgundy Meursault. The finale in on the fresh nutty flavours, very pleasant. Another very impressive white from the Douro DOC. 15.5/20
