Soito Dao Reserva 2014
Dão, Northern Portugal, PortugalDeep and potent, with blackcurrant, dusky violets, cassis filling the compact, potent frame. Tar, tobacco, leather coat the base, downy and fleshy, and framed with a fiercely thick wall of tannins. Intense through the sticky, lingering finish. This is touriga nacional, tinta roriz and alfocheiro from Terras de Azurara, on the granitic soils of the Dao. After a stainless ferment, this spent ten months in French oak. Tight and unyielding now in youth, this serious, big wine benefits from decanting and pairing with boar or lamb, and more so from cellaring.Tasted: 26 January 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $45.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
