TN: 2003 Quinta do Vallado Reserva Douro

[Frederick Blais]

First the Red, Douro Reserva 2003 was really the better of the 2 tonight showing exuberant bouquet of ripe cassis, gooseberry, some floral tones and good dose of minerality. The mouth is showing good concentration balanced with ripe black fruits and the right dose of acidity and glycerine to keep that 14,5% alc/col wine perfectly balanced. The finale is lingering again on black fruits with very nice exotic wood flavours. 16.5/20
