Quinta Da Costa Das Aguaneiras Tinto

Description

This Aguaneira from Quinta da Costa das Aguaneiras is a frankly vibrant burst of red – like the Douro sun itself has been bottled. You get immediate notes of ripe blackcurrant and a touch of cassis, all amplified by that bold new French oak aging. It’s remarkably fresh and lively on the palate, a welcome counterpoint to the velvety texture. As you’d expect from a wine scoring 90 points with Robert Parker, it’s beautifully balanced, with a lingering finish. Seriously, pair it with grilled red meats – it’s a celebration of Douro’s power and finesse.
