Charme Douro Tinta Roriz Blend
Douro, Portugal
2016 vintage. Dirk Niepoort's answer to Burgundy and it actually has a Pinot Noir like colour and mouthfeel. This is a very unusual Douro from very old vines. Delicate nose with sour cherries , pomegranate and flowers. It is all about finesse and subtlety. Very long. Delicious and expensive (80 euros), but if you see the prices of Portuguese high end wines these days it almost seems a bargain.

Great as this 14 was also picked before the heavy rains.
Medium ruby intensity with light edges.
The nose is more elegant and ethereal, with rose, and lifted bright red fruit aromatics of cherry and pomegranate, and a line of fresh minerality and terroir. Dirk's ode to Red Burgundy. The intensity on the palate is more elegant, but more precise than Batuta showing more transparency and definition. This is a field blend from 70-100+ year old vine north facing vineyards in Pinhao at Vale de Mendiz.

Elegant, feminine wine, Burgundy style. Pop n pour, generous, open, but lacking tension and excitement at the moment. Reevaluate tomorrow.

Nose like a burgundy. Smooth and sweet. Impressive. Loads of red fruit.
