Oscar's Douro Red 2014
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalIf you think the Douro is just for Port Wine, think again. Dry table wine from the Douro is hotter than ever, and it's a category you're going to see more and more (thankfully). Here touriga nacional and tinta roriz show soft, thorny black fruit, finely savoury, and hued with anise. Tannins are chocolaty and fine, and a light medicinal black cherry lingers on the finish. Impressive red - authentic, dry and true to place - for this price. That's the riches of Portugal; drink up, oft.Tasted: 07 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $13.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
