Xisto Ilimitado Douro Red Blend
Douro, Portugal
Interesting as a lighter style red blend from the Douro. Has a fine tannin grittiness, & small black berry approach that is very seductive to this palate. Most analogous to a Moulin A Vent. About 750 cases produced & usually found in restaurants, so quite blessed to drink w friends at Sunset.

Grippy tannins, a lot of astringency on the finish, dried fruit, a bit of star anise

This wine tastes like a gamay and Rhône varietal has a baby.

Thin, acidic, awful wine that is typically served at bars. Not worth buying.
