Quinta do Portal 2009 Grande Reserva Red (Douro)

Country: Portugal / Grande Reserva
Variety: Portuguese Red Douro
Winery: Quinta do Portal /

Always a powerful wine, this has the added benefit of being produced from a fine vintage, yielding a hugely dense and concentrated bottling. Power comes from the ripe blackberry and black currant fruit and from the dark, firm tannins. Age this wine at least five years.
