2010 Quinta dos Roques Encruzado

Quite pale. Deliciously creamy, cedary aroma with spice and citrus, just starting to reveal some of Encruzado's potential complexity and capacity to age. Creamy on the palate too, the oak adding a sweetness and roundness to counterbalance Encruzado's crisp acidity. Great length. Very moreish and a lot more to come. (JH)
