Van Zellers Co. Douro 2013

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalA slight reductive note introduces this rustic, youthful red, before blueberry, raspberry, dough, soft blue plum, cracked peppercorn and violet leaves overtake. Balsamic streams along downy tannins, to a riff of smoked stones on the finish. This is a blend of predominantly touriga nacional, touriga francesa, assisted by other local grapes, alluringly ready to drink now, with pork chops.Tasted: 06 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
