Glad I opened this! Mocha, cherries, red plums, and minerals all carry from the nose to the palate. Grippy tannins and a medium plus body with a surprising amount of acidity. This is a terrific Douro for $22.

subtle, not to harsh. Blend, neutral flavored. Hint of berries and spices. Dark but good from Portugal. #8 on the list of 2015 top wines
