Tasting - Doural Red Tinto



Name: Doural Red Tinto
Variety: Red blend
Region: Not listed
Country: Portugal
Year: 2009
Price: $8.95

Wine critic review: This Portuguese tinto(red) blend exhibits a deep red color with violet hues. The nose is vibrant and fruity. The palate offers notes of spice, cherry, and dark berry supported by good structure. Pairs well with red or game meat, cheeses and fish

My review: I really enjoyed this red-blend tinto. Fruit was obvious on the nose with a hint of spice and wood as well. The taste was predominantly cherry, again with a little bit of that spice from the nose coming through. A moderate body and very smooth to drink. I did not pair with food, but I think it would be good with steak or roast.
