This Portuguese wine with a huge mouthful – do open it 30 minutes before you’re ready to drink it.
A friend brought this Douro region gem to the BYOB we dined at for my birthday dinner – boy does she know my tastes well. It is deep ruby in the glass, has an intense luscious fruit nose and is concentrated cherry/raspberry on the palate with a lovely medium finish. As a fan of beefy American Zinfandels, I really enjoyed the powerful, 14.5% alcohol wine.
