2006 Curva Reserva Douro Red

Post by Roy Hersh »

From the folks at Sogevinus, produced at Quinta de Arnozelo. This is the 2nd vintage of the Reserva. The SRP - $30. Check PORTraits for a picture of the package. Impressions on the wine will be added tonight, it has been in the decanter since 4 p.m.

I must admit that my expectations were higher than the drinking pleasure that this wine delivered. Tart and under-ripe, the aromatics provided glimpses of a more serious flavor profile but that was not the case. A formal TN will appear in the newsletter. 86 points
