Quinta do Vallado Douro Vinho Tinto 2014

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis Douro red is a blend of touriga nacional, tinta roriz, touriga franca and sousão, 20 percent of which are from vineyards over 70 years old. Aged for 16 months in a blend of 70/30 stainless steel/wood, this still has the dusky and grippy tannins of youth overriding the ripe and perfumed blackberry, black cherry and resin-laden fruit. A lovely perfumed violet throughout. Rustic and a bit chunky at this youthful time, well suited to lamb sausages.Tasted: 06 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
