Altano Naturalmente Douro Red Blend

Deep ruby; medium intense raspberry strawberry and blueberry and some earth. Medium acid, high alcohol,high ripe tannin, medium plus body, medium finish. Medium intense flavors match aromas with added spice of pepper smoke, and allspice. Balanced with decent concentration not super integrated but Good.

Spicy smoked cured salami with cherries on the nose. Tart bing cherries and earthiness on the palate. Begs for tapas in Spain.

A shorter list of red but well curated, like this one. Purplish medium red cherry fruited spicy earthy nose and good finish.

Tart, slightly dry, blackberry cherry finish. Perfect pair with a hearty oxtail stew

Tart black raspberry and blackberry, light on the palate with tart fruit acidity.
Mulling spices added.... Keeps the black fruit flavors but makes it more like a cooked berry cobbler. Yum!!

Aroma is mixed berry and cherry with a small buttery undertone. Taste it acidic with a long finish.

A little peppery on the nose, with medium acid and dark cherry. Easy drinking.

Ok

It’s a red. And that’s okay. The pumper truck slurping concrete.
