Portugese red made from (mostly?) Touriga Franca. Made by a guy from
Bordeaux, this is a freak show. Tons of polish, but retains the blood &
guts that is intrinsic to the rustic Douro Valley. Don't know how it
will age, but it will certainly impress any wine geek. Hard to identify,
but easy to enjoy, give it to anyone that's tasted every classified
growth or wants to graduate from Mateus.
"It's not just a job, it's not just a hobby, it's a lifestyle." This is just one guy's opinion who happens to taste a few thousand wines in the course of a year. And as wine folk know, this is a thirsty business, so I wash it all down with an ale and maybe even a whiskey (Tequila or gin when the thermometer soars). So take this all with a shaker of salt and forgive me my mispellings.
