DFJ Vinhos 2009 Vega Portugese Red - please see http://buyingguide.winemag.com/toplists ... estbuys/10

It's also nice to see another Portugese wine in the Top Ten, at the #9 position.

Have had some crazy good wines which are sold at ridiculous prices here in Portugal. Talking about 4-6 euros retail.

I love "Full yet elegant, age this for the next two years" If a 2009 Douro peaks at 5 years in the bottle, sounds more like a failure or the reviewer has no idea on bottle aging.

Could be a failure overall or considering the aging of its brethren, but still be a best buy for drinking in the next two years.

I am sure it's a lovely wine, but I am tired of such conservative drinking windows.
