Quinta do Javali Special Reserve

15.5 / 20
Producer: Quinta do Javali
Region:Porto
Country:Portugal


This is probably a reserve ruby, although that's not explicit from the label or the info on their site. Very fruit forward on the nose, lots of red sweet morello cherries along with some plums and raisins impressions.


Keeps the same approach in the mouth, revealing itself as a young, lightly structured wine. Pleasant enough, I just felt the spirit was a bit too harsh, the alcohol a little too much in the foreground. But this is probably the profile for their ports, as I felt the same thing with their 10-year old tawny.


For that reason, serve it lightly chilled and it be a good apetizer.
