| GRANDE RESERVA 2011 DOC Douro |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
QUADRUS |
| This first release of Quadras Grande Reserva is NEW in Vintages. It has an extremely deep intense purple colour. The nose is quite pungent with lots of intense, slightly baked, ripe plum fruit along with slightly leathery, cedar-tinged, caramel flan notes. Very dry, medium-full bodied, extracty, still youthful, dense, ripe, plum fruit flavours with a lingering, toasty, cassis-chocolate finish. Needs a big glass and a few more years! This blend of 70% Touriga Nacional and 30% Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) was aged for 14 months in French oak and has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar topped with a black wax seal and no lot number. NEW in Vintages. |

| TASTING NOTE: This is the first vintage of the Grande Reserva put out from Quadrus. A blend of 70% Touriga Nacional and 30% Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) that spent 14 months in French oak, it's showing beautifully with over a decade under its belt. Look for seamless integration of dark fruit and oak nuances and drink now through 2030 with meat dishes or stews. |
