NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Casal Branco Lobo e Falcão Tinto is captivating from the first glance, with a deep ruby color that promises a rich tasting experience.The nose is immediately met with a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, layered with spicy notes of black pepper and a touch of herbal freshness reminiscent of the wild, natural landscape of the Tejo region. Oak aging contributes elegant hints of vanilla and toasted wood, adding depth and complexity to the wine's aroma. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a powerful yet refined structure. The dark fruit flavors are enriched by nuances of chocolate, leather, and a subtle minerality, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
