Assobio Douro Touriga Nacional Blend

Elegant Portuguese wine

Slightly translucent ruby color, medium complex nose with sharp cherries dominating a dark fruit backbone with gamy hints. Elegant, yet full, perfect balance with full oak integration, subtle tannins and med-high acidity. Ending in a long fruit driven finish with enough structure to make one long for more. A perfect, but exceptional vintage for asssobio. The vintage was bad, which caused the domain to use all their top vines to make just one wine, this one. A complete steal if you can find it, and a good anomaly to other assobio vintages. Douro can be great, if done right.

If you can find the 2014 outside of the domain, have it. Quinta do Murças is the domain to follow if you’re after authentic and very high quality wines in the Douro. No tricks, no jam, all terroir and quality.

I have been reading about the maillard effect in wine recently. This wine has it in spades!

Dry, not very fruit forward $15 -

Fruity. Simple. Good quaffing wine. Better than an average table wine but not necessarily a fine wine. Definitely like this and would buy again

A good lightweight red. Velvety on the mouth with notes of cherry.

Pretty good, a good second bottle

Vinho mais simples, porém muito saboroso. Tem algo no cheiro que não consegui entender... No gosto tem madeira e pouco álcool. Tanino suave.

Very nice Duoro red
