Horta Osório Tinto

Description

This Horta Osório, undeniably bearing the hallmarks of Douro tradition, has opted for a subtle journey into oak despite a meticulous production process – think hefty 18kg boxes and careful racking. The deep ruby colour and aromas of red and black fruit, hinting at barrel ageing with a touch of spice, suggest an elegant wine with refined tannins, promising good structure and volume. While the 17.5 points score indicates a well-constructed wine, perhaps a little extra time in the bottle was a touch indulgent. Perfect with a hearty beef roast to balance the intensity.
