Rio Torto, Cima Corga, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalTobacco, cedar, meaty, plum, black cherry, vanilla, coffee, liquorice root, barnyard, saddle leather aromas. Round, full, dry, fresh palate with light tannins. Coffee, peppery, black tea, liquorice and smoky, vanilla, black cherry, dried fig, resin flavours. Warm and somewhat oaky at this youthful stage it will need a few years to integrate. As always, well made and tasty but the new price is tough to swallow.Tasted: 24 October 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
