Mafarrico

Douro Red Blend 2015

Mafarrico (bad boy) Tinto, Douro DOC. Blackberry, evergreen, bay laurel, dried herbs on the nose, finely balanced acid-tannin palate, me-dusty, the hubby-silky mouthfeel. Brambly palate with more evergreen. Medium acidity and body, flavors linger as it rides off into a western sunset. Álvero Martinho Lopes is a terroir and dirt guy who works with Dirk Nieport. I’m surprised at the lower scores. This is what a Douro field blend is, no less than 8 different 🍇 varieties. — 7 years ago
