a wine I want to taste
Corte Real Platinum 2000
Grape variety: 50% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 50% Merlot.
Wine features:
Wine of an elegant cherry red colour with tile-coloured rims whose
aromas remind us of wet soil and red and black fruits in the country of
La Vera, which hosted the Emperor. Its ageing aroma stands out with a
medium, but warm, body. It has got a very intense nose with toasted
tones from the wood very well combined with ripe fruit of a great
intensity, all wrapped by spiced, well aged, leather tones which evoke
cedar and cocoa. Silky in mounth, this wine is soft and elegant, with
noble and slightly astringent tannins, very expressive and richness of
sensations in the palate. Its taste olfactory amplitude and its balance
harmony leave in the senses a inviting memory to which only giving in
is possible.
Serving suggestions: It is an ideal wine for game, like pheasant, partridge or duck as well as goose, foie or pâté.
