Borges Quinta São Simão Da Aguieira Tinto

Description

Right then, here’s the Borges Quinta São Simão, with a little bit of cheeky observation: This wine, hailing from the legendary Quinta São Simão, certainly lives up to its reputation – a proper testament to the elegance only the Douro Cima Dourado can bestow. Predominantly Touriga Nacional with a dash of Dona Fernão, you’re greeted with vibrant red fruit and a whisper of cedar, no doubt influenced by those wonderfully seasoned Carvalho oak barrels. Remarkably fresh and with beautifully refined tannins – a 95-point endorsement from the critics, I presume? – it’s a fantastic match for a hearty beef stew, showcasing a structure that can certainly hold its own against a robust dish.
