Niepoort (Vinhos) S.A.

Charme Douro Tinta Roriz Blend 2016

2016 vintage. Dirk Niepoort's answer to Burgundy and it actually has a Pinot Noir like colour and mouthfeel. This is a very unusual Douro from very old vines. Delicate nose with sour cherries , pomegranate and flowers. It is all about finesse and subtlety. Very long. Delicious and expensive (80 euros), but if you see the prices of Portuguese high end wines these days it almost seems a bargain. — a year ago

Flor De Crasto Douro Red Blend 2012

Sitting on the lanai in Grand Cayman sipping the wine 2012 one of the more reasonable wines for sale here. Going down very easy lightly peppered with plum and blueberry fruit taste possibly coffee. The color is dark and the aroma is as it tastes with pepper and dark fruit. — 7 years ago

Quinta do Passadouro

Douro Red Blend

Portugal makes some great wine and this is one. Nose of dark berries, dusting of earth, truffle (maybe?). Tight tannin structure with sharp acidity still. Will need time to mellow out. Quality. — 5 years ago

Herdade do Mouchão

Ponte das Canas Alentejo Touriga Nacional Blend 2012

Took one and a half hour to open to perfection. And perfection it was! The initial tight tannin structure opened up to layers of flavor of vibrant red and dark fruit, pie cherry, fig, hints of cinnamon, cedar and an earthy finish. — 6 years ago

Quinta do Noval

Maria Mansa Douro Red Blend 2008

My first experience of Portuguese wine , as for most people my age was fortified Port. Amazing that the same flavour DNA is so strong with this Dry Red without the high alcohol. Savoury dry cherry with liquorice. Drink now or cellar short term. — 7 years ago
