| Bottle of Doural Tinto |
Red Tinto 2009
Douro, Portugal
Touriga Franca
8.95 USD
The Portuguese tinto(red) blend exhibits a deep red color with violet hues. The nose is vibrant and fruity. The palate offers notes of spice, cherry and dark berry supported by good structure. Pairs well with red game meat, cheese and fish. (description courtesy of the Vintage Cellar)
This past weekend we (Derek, Marie and I) ventured to the Vintage Cellar for a delightful tasting. My favorite of the bunch was the Doural. It had a strong presence of red fruit and oak when smelling it. It smelled smooth, rich and thick. It had what I think was some kind of cherry taste to it and it was the smoothest wine I'd had in a while. There was no hint of alcohol in either the taste or smell. It was delight to taste and if it weren't for beer I had bought the day before I would have gotten a bottle. Maybe next time.
