Fruity red Portuguese blend w/ a tad 'old socks' Syrah edge on the nose (which I love) dry earthy subtle suitable palate. Worthy without food, with very good company, Pawel.

A great wine from the best terroirs of the Douro valley, on the north-east of Portugal. The usual tri blend of grapes that gives the wine a delicate, complex and persistent bouquet. Powerful pepper and ripe plums on the nose, yet deliciously elegant and balanced. Aldi €7.49 bargain.

Tasty Douro wine. Blackberry and currant. Slight hint of dirty laundry as the wine opens up. Low astringency, easy to drink!

White pepper and red berries. A bit of dark cocoa on the finish too after it opened.
