Monte Branco Castelão

Castelão

Tasting note:

17,5 pts Vinho Grandes Escolhas - The profile of the variety is clearly felt, that delicate red fruit, almost a sensation of sweetness, juicy, enveloping, delicate and elegant, with smooth, round and polished tannin, a very appealing hint of raspberry candy at the end.
