Vila Regia Tinta 1999
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThere's a plummy, licorice, earth tone to the fruit that reminds one of port but the finish is well balanced offering peppery, dry, leathery fruit. This is a well-made, fun-to-drink, sturdy red that is an outstanding bargain.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $8.95 | 750ml |
