Vasques de Carvalho Oxum Red 2015

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis blend of Douro touriga nacional, touriga franca, tinta roriz, and tinta amarela is ripe and potent on the palate, with gobs of sweet raspberry, sharp blackcurrant, and medicinal black cherry. The tannins are raging, pinching in the ripe fruit to a tight, drying, charcoal-dusted finish. This rustic red needs a hearty chunk of meat to mitigate.Tasted: 14 October 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
