Borges Reserva Ruby Porto

Description

This Borges Ruby Reserva feels like it’s sprung straight from a fairytale forest – the ruby colour is so intense it verges on black. That youthful blackberry note promised on the nose is beautifully sustained, lifted by a refreshing hint of pink peppercorn, evocative of a Douro breeze. On the palate, it’s wonderfully smooth with tannins that won’t bother you, all underpinned by the robust structure inherited from Touriga Nacional and Aragonez. Seriously, it’s begging for a hearty roast or, dare I say, a perfectly grilled steak with wild mushrooms – a pairing that really celebrates the wine’s rustic charm and freshness.
