Vila Regia Tinta 1998
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe wine has a great nose with dark red fruit flavours and spicy aftertaste and good balance. The blend is a mix of touriga nacional, touriga francesa, tinta barroca, bastardo and tinta roriz the same grapes used to make fortified ports. Good value especially if you like the leaner more restrained Euro-style red. Elegant beyond its price.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $8.95 | 750ml |
