Reserve Passagem Douro Red Blend

Ben had this 10 years ago

Very dark! For a portuguese dinner. Big bold and excellent. Chocolate, quite pricey pronounced mouth puckering tannins. Too young at this point. Dark fruit, plums, ripe blackberries, dark cherries and a touch bitter. Really well made!

2011

Thick! Heavy on dark berries.

Have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of wine in Portugal!

Pure happiness. All the dark berries plus perfect tannins. This will be even more awesome in a couple of years

Brought the 2011 vintage back from a trip to Portugal Delicious, full bodied, rich red.

Like sucking on a piece of velvet dipped in prune juice. In a good way.

The most complete wine of the tasting. Huge amount of stuffing. On the nose, dark fruits, spice and leather. In the mouth, massive tannins, loads of black berries and decent acidity. Drying medium-long finish. Needs years... At the Quinta in Pinhão, Portugal.

has aged very well prunes then redcurrant low alcohol structure
