Márcio Lopes Anel Reserva Tinto 2016
Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis blend of touriga nacional, touriga franca comes from the baking hot Douro Superior, and 25 year old vines. After foot treading in granite lagares, this fermented over 10 days before moving to used oak for six months. Give this giant red some airtime in a decanter to reveal wild blackberries, brooding cassis, and thorns. Tannins are firm and strident with oak, appropriate for the fullness of the fruit. Thankfully Douro's schist is present in aiding freshness and acidity in this big red. Drinking well now (after aforementioned decant) and with suitable proteins to match.Tasted: 14 October 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| CDN | $31.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
