Tasting Note
A vivid crimson colour and with a glass-staining intensity! This is a bold, broad-shouldered style, rich, powerful, yet fine-tuned, packed with sweet, dusky, mulberry fruit with hints of peppery spice. The 2006 carries it weight so very well, revealing a fine, layered persistence.
Region Details
Douro's terraced vineyards seem to perch on every bank of the twisting river from Vila Nova de Gaia to Pinhao and beyond, a sight its many tourist visitors have marvelled at. The vines have produced port wines for centuries, to be trod to pulp in stone lagaars in the numerous wineries which dot the landscape. The last decade has seen the emergence of a successful table wine made from the same grapes, an imposing cross, stylistically, somewhere between the Médoc and Coonawarra.
