  • 2019 João Nicolau de Almeida Monte Xisto Orbita Dour Red - Portugal, Douro (6/21/2022)
    13.5% alcohol. This wine was aged 50% in oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel, giving it fresh, earthy notes as well as raspberry and cherry on the nose. Great red fruit entry with tannins rolling up onto the mid-palette for a solo performance. Tannins retreat on the end of the mid-palate and make way for the long finish, which features nice complexity of chocolate, boysenberry, and black currant. (93 pts.)
