Adega de Vila Real
Reserva Douro Red Blend

This is a nice and easy drinking red blend from Portugal.
Showing black fruits with wood, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco and mocha.
Fruit forward with a new world feel. This is probably made for the American Market 😊
Tasty and enjoyable, good by itself or with food. I paired it with BBQ chicken and vegetables.

This is a nice Red Blend from Portugal. Showing black and red fruits with vegetables, earth, wood, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up.
This 5 year old is drinking very nicely now. A good everyday wine.
I paired it with a nice piece of Rib Eye steak.
A blend of 25% Tinta Barroca, 25% Tinta Roriz, 25% Touriga Nacional and 25% Touriga Franca.

This has developed a bit more complexity on the nose since my last taste a year ago. Red cherry and blackberry followed by incense, black tea, vanilla, and a bit forest floor and hint of smoked meat, then the lovely cherry note resurfaced. Well balanced with acidic and tanning structures for further aging. What a value!

Apr 8th, 2021A perfect house and party wine. Great value. Smooth dark fruit balanced some earthy and mint notes. Hard to beat for $8.

Jan 22nd, 2021The nose is a fruit bomb. Black fruit with hints of chocolate. The palate has #junkinthetrunk. Black fruit and chocolate explodes on the tongue with hint of tobacco in the finish.

Mar 16th, 2020Lovely cherry aroma, compliment by black tea, spice, incense and hint of vanilla. Bring acidity. Tannins started to resolve but still noticeable. Love the low 13.5 abv.
$7 for a nicely aged bottle. Can’t really ask for
more!

Last night in Porto, waited recommended this €10 euro wine at Grelhador do Boavista, goes well with mixed grill, fruity, flavorful table wine from the Douro
