Soito Taleiga Dao 2015

Dão, Northern Portugal, PortugalTaleiga is all about richness and power but with a touch of the velvet glove. Blackcurrant and violets dominate this tight little red flecked with tar (think young nebbiolo), leather and tobacco notes. Not as rustic as the previous version, this mix of touriga nacional, tinta roriz, alfrocheiro and jaen is from the granitic soils of the Viseu region of the Dao. After a stainless ferment, this spent ten months in French oak. Youthful and tight this best attacked with grilled lamb or put it away for five years.Tasted: 23 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
