Reserva Vinhas Velhas Douro Red Blend

Even better than I remembered, classy and very Bordeaux like in style. Rich without being weighty, very good acidity, well integrated backbone of tannin. #douro #crasto #broadbent

Dusty, dirty, funky and even at a 2010 vintage, still a bit tight. Gonna be really cool in a couple of years.

31 varietals! Outstanding typicity, no matter the lineup this always has a classic feel and taste to it. Deep ruby core with red edges. The nose is currants, spice, roasted herbs, and pain grille. The palate is muscular, with flashes of currants and cherries, tobacco, and blueberry that reveal precocious notes that are brought in line by the medium+ tannins. A classic wine in a style the world can agree is a great wine!

Reminds me o Orin Swift, in a Portuguese kinda way

Super smooth and layered

Very smooth and enjoyable.

Field blend of power and finesse. Ideal for a thick-cut steak. With Gillis and his lady.

Great value. Plenty of power, all in balance. I need to snap up more.

Big fruity and lots of body. Nice tannin balance. Could age a few years.

Superb
