Ramos Pinto Vintage 1997

Tasting Notes - The 1997 vintage is a wine of complete ripeness, good acidity, tannin and concentration. The growing season consisted of a sunny winter, adverse weather in spring, and favorable, sunny growing conditions in summer. While there were some weather difficulties, Ramos-Pinto fared well. The 1997 vintage will start to reach maturity in 10-15 years. Grape varieties - Touriga Nacional, Barroca and Roriz. Appearance - beautiful violet shades still opaque as the wine is in its first stages of maturation. On the nose there are elegant floral notes with hints of rose and black cherry. The palate has a smooth, well-balanced attack. Robust tannins endow the wine with hints of ripe fruit, showing plenty of promise for good aging. Serving Suggestions: This wine is best served after standing upright for at least two hours and decanted. Best served with cheese at the end of a meal.
