Reserva Old Vines Vinhas Velhas Douro Red Blend

Raspberry preserves, sour cherry, stewed fruit, baking spice and oak. Full-bodied and soft tannins.

Tobacco, leather, and perfectly ripe blackberries invade both nose and mouth with a tinge of black licorice resting underneath. Medium acidity, medium+finish, and boldness of flavor all point to a wine that while beautiful now, will only get better with another 5 years.

A good Douro, but too young. This will be better in four years. The finish is perfect: smooth tannins, a firm bitterness, and licorice flavors. But the attack is overwhelmed with roughness that likely will disappear with age. Better on the second day but still not enough to improve the attack.

Smooth as silk, perfect for any occasion

Portuguese Duoro from +70 year old vines with a dark inky color; takes about an hour to open up with scents of vanilla, plum and black currant. On the pallet, the wine begins very austere and rustic, gradually evolves to progressive layers of dark fruit, vanilla, cocoa, leather and piercing acidity. This a full bodied, complex wine with firm tannins and a rigid structure, medium plus alcohol. Really enjoyed this wine and pair’s excellent with red pasta and dishes rich in animal fat; do give it time to open up though, it’ll pay-off for sure.

WE too 100. Good wine.

Melted dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, cigar box, dried tobacco leaves, plums, raisins, and molasses.

Been drinking this selection for years and it always impresses. Popped the cork about 1.5-2 hours prior to consumption and that did the trick. Voluptuous plum, tobacco, frothy mocha, mint, Luxardo syrup. Lovely depth and a great finish.

Dark fruit, dry, pepper

Love this wine and love this producer. Immensely fresh tasting fruit. Delicious.
