2005 Quinta de Ventozelo Douro Reserva

Deep red. Perfumed and floral nose with hints of violets. Blueberry cobbler fruit is delicious, and not over the top. Tilled earth and a thread of herbaceaousness round it out. Nice balance on the palate. Firm tannin becomes more pronounced with air, and are quite elegant. It's not heavy in any sense. Nice stuff and it's drinking well now. 60% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz.

$20
