2010 Pedra Cancela Selecao do Enologo Dao

A light, pale ruby colour with minor legs. Sour cherry aromas mixed with rasberry, mint and cola.  The acidity comes off a bit harsh, but mellows once the fine tannins make their presence. The aromas repeat themselves through the palate and the finish is medium with pronounced sour cherry.  All in all, I expected more from Portugal.
