Zuco 103 « Treasure » 2002 (Tales of high fever LP)

This deep garnet wine with intense ruby hues made in the famous Northern region of Portugal (Portos) gives inspiration of a warm Brazilian-sounding music.

The bouquet is very open, between the violet, ripe currant, red pepper baked with toasted notes and vanilla, routing around the charming brazil melody, accompanied by keyboard Rhodes inlaid electro arrangements « flirting » by jazzy guitar games.

The silky mouth tasting reveals the density and the aromatic persistence loose-fitting and female, and adjusts with refinement on the choice of music in harmony.

A very conducive to great wine region wines red and renowned worldwide for its terraced vineyards along the Douro River, giving its name to the appellation.

The grape variety used for Porto, Touriga nacional gives his body to wine, its complexity and its structure, with fine tannins and concentrated aromas of black fruits and flowers.
