Quinta do Vallado
Reserva Field Blend Douro Red Blend
I‘m in love with duoro 💕. This has everything a truly great red wine needs. Super dark color, complex aromatics ranging from dark berries and ripe plum over some vanilla-chocolately-notes to tobacco and cedar wood. (The fruit is a little bit in the background though). On the palate it is rich, concentrated, full-bodied, has a mouthwatering minerality, super fine tannins and a very very well integrated alcohol (which, for duoro, isn‘t really high at 14,5%). Also the afterhall is long, warm and minerality driven. Fine drinking now, will be better in 5 years and live up to 10 years maybe even more.
