Contraste Douro Branco 2014
Impressive aroma that is both steely/mineral-intense and tangy with green fruits and citrus peel and an overlay of grapefruit freshness. The oak is barely present except in a gentle creamy depth but the rest is all dry freshness and tangy expressive citrus. Mouthwatering and very persistent.
