I’m feeling weird to give 90 for a $17 Douro, but it’s pretty incredible for the price. Right after the opening, you have a standard douro, tasting good but nothing special, an easy wine. After an hour, still fruity, a little bit of wood, spice and still pretty dry and easy to drink. I will keep few of those for the week days, incredibly versatile wine!

45% Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz 1/3 in vats (2,3 yrs old) to blend as they taste. Good expressive nose – some of that (rock rose) gum, floral and very Douro – super lift.
Herby, wild basil, pretty and bloomy on the palate, notes of sour cherry. Finishes very fresh but does dry out a little and savoury.
