Country: Portugal
Region: Douro
Category: Red Table Wine
Vintage: 2004
Price: $18.99
Decanted or Not: Decanted ~ 1 hour
Tasting Notes:
The Color: Very dark ruby redThe Nose: Grabs you by the nostrils with aggressive scents very dark, ripe fruit; and strong oak.
The Taste: In a word, powerful. Very intense rich, ripe fruit, with surprising amount of spice. Taste the oak but not overbearing, as can be the case with some of these Portuguese table wines. Burst of smokiness and plum right at the end. Very smooth and moderate finish (20 seconds). Not nearly as dry as some other reds I've had from this region. Very nice.
The Verdict: 8 corks
