2013 QUINTA DO VALLADO "RESERVA" DOURO, PORTUGAL From Decanter, "This glorious 2013 is a mind-boggling field blend of 30 different varieties including Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela and Tourigas Franca. Deep colour and a beautiful black fruit nose leads on palate warming notes of bramble, liquorice, smoke and coffee. It is full bodied, but not overblown because the tannins are sensuous and ripe. 70% of the wine has been aged in new oak and the rest in 2nd and 3rd fill barrels. It is sensationally accessible now and will only get better." From The Wine Spectator, "Elegantly floral, firm and savory, with red plum and berry flavors flanked by notes of dried sage. Lush midpalate, presenting hints of iodine on the well-structured finish. Drink now through 2021... 93 Points From The Wine Enthusiast - 94 Points "Cellar Selection"
