Tasted 20/06/12, 14% ABV, cork closure. A ludicrous £7.99 sold under the Sainsburys Taste the Difference label (normal price about £10). The 2010's from Douro are receiving many plaudits and this wine scored highly in a recent Decanter tasting. It's a classic Douro blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca.
Beautiful deep purple colour, dark fruits on the nose, plummy on the palate, elegant and well rounded. The wine has firm tannins in the mouth with a long finish of dried fruit with a hint of spice. A stellar wine from a great prodcuer masquerading as a budget wine. From 2013, 17.5/20
