Dão Sul Cabriz Encruzado 2009

Dão, Northern Portugal, PortugalYou would be forgiven for guessing this was a Rhone white on a blind tasting. Encruzado, especially with some age (2009 still on shelves) builds herbal, hazelnut, honeycomb and savoury stone while maintaining a firm rod of acid - all of which are in play here in this impressive white. Bitter wild herbs, light meadow flowers, straw, mellow pear and lemon rind, all bound together across an oily, textured palate. Great length - drinking beautifully right now. Pour with roast poultry or sablefish.Tasted: 20 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:
