2009 Quinta do Portal Douro Colheita Tinto
10/21/2012 - rallylizard wrote: 90 Points
Floral nose, allowed to decant about 30 minutes in our glasses and the fragrances filled the room. Still a little tight after 30 minutes, with our second bottle we'll do 45-60 min decant. Inky purple color, strong tannic structure, full body and intense ripe fruit. There is a nice mild wood and spice to the long finish. We were very impressed with this and at $15/bottle we are glad we picked up a half case, excellent QPR, love Portugal!

2008 Valle dell'Acate Nero d'Avola Sicilia Il Moro

Second bottle, very good but not enough to climb into 90 point territory. It is different and delicious enough to be a part of your cellar and at $13 is good QPR. It is wines like this for these prices that keep me from buying much at grocery stores. :) Enjoy!

2009 Bodegas Volver Tempranillo La Mancha Single Vineyard

See my previous note from 10/16. I felt it was undeveloped and I couldn't wait 'til fall like I had planned before trying again. It was better than I remember, this wine needs some decanting but is a solid 89 wine and a great value if you can still pickup for $12 or less. I am really looking forward to the 2010 Volver, hoping for a return to the 90+ level.
