Tasting - Doural Red Tinto



  


Name:  Doural Red Tinto
Variety: Tinta Cao, Touriga Nacional
Region: Douro
Country: Portugal
Year: 2009
Price: $9

Winery review:  This Portuguese tinto(red) blend exhibits a deep red color with violet hues. The nose is vibrant and fruity. The palate offers notes of spice, cherry, and dark berry supported by good structure. Pairs well with red or game meat, cheeses and fish.


My review: The nose that I picked up on consisted mainly of dark berry notes. I liked the deep red color in the glass and enjoyed the dark berry (not necessarily cherry) tastes I picked up on my palate. Some tannin here that would cause the wine to be well suited with something to counterbalance that puckering feeling, but I enjoyed the wine overall.


I tasted this on its own with no food.
