Cooperativa Ilha Do Pico 10 Anos Fortificado

Description

This Licoroso from Pico Island, awarded 18 points at Grandes Escolhas, unfolds with a beautiful, aged golden hue. The nose reveals a vibrant citrus character – think sun-ripened citrons – balanced by honeyed sweetness and a whisper of salty almond, very much evocative of the island’s coastal air. On the palate, it’s remarkably smooth, with an elegant interplay between sweetness and acidity that really elevates the experience. A lingering, saline finish, with oceanic nuances, would be absolutely divine with fresh seafood, particularly a vibrant arroz de marisco.
