Soito Dao Otios Reserva 2018

Dão, Northern Portugal, PortugalA blend of alfrocheiro, jaen (mencía), tinta roriz (tempranillo), and touriga nacional from Portugal's Dão region. Pouring a medium ruby hue, it opens with slightly reductive notes that quickly give way to red and black berries, layered with licorice, a touch of smoke, savoury meaty tones, nutmeg, granite, and earthy potting soil. The palate reveals surprisingly youthful and vibrant fruit for a six year old wine, with a medium body supported by refined tannins and fresh acidity, creating a balanced and energetic expression of these traditional Portuguese varieties.Tasted: 23 September 2024Tasted by: HJ ChaPrices:
