I’m starting to think that Tinta Roriz in the hands of Douro winemakers can do no wrong. Simple fruity wine with some pencil shavings notes, which give it a little balance. Why can’t winemakers outside Portugal make such pleasant thirst quenching wines for $9.00?

There is something about the aftertaste I don’t like.
