Tasting notes
Quinta dos Canais 2010 is a big-hearted young Vintage Port with an opaque deep purple colour. Lovely floral nose with the sweetness of intense ripe berry fruit aromas and a touch of fig and mint/eucalyptus. On the palate, a very full-bodied but surprisingly supple young wine, with concentrated dark fruit flavours (black plums) and a touch of pepper. Beautifully balanced by polished, round silky tannins, which follow through to a long and slightly drier finish.
