I think I'm about due to post something!
Poeira Douro 2007
Obviously deep color, but not completly opaque. Floral notes strike first followed by tones of vanilla, grilled bread and riped black currants/plums/cherries notes. Probably some herbal notes or esteva/oregano too on the end of the bouquet. The palate is showing smooth entry, medium body, dry, red fruits flavours, good acidity, some oak, then tannins kicks in and leave a bitter finish that builds in intensity for 10-15 seconds. Appart from the bitter finish that dominates the wine for now, this wine shows great balance, freshness and purity. A 2003 drank recently was fantastic and this wine surely look to follow the same path. 17/20+

I wish these their wines were easier to find near me, as I've only had a limited exposure to them but I liked what I had.
