Quinta Dos Quatro Ventos Colheita 2008, Doc Douro, Portugal



This wine is a blend of traditional Port grapes (Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesca and Touriga Nacional) with maturation taking place in French and Russian oak for 1 year and alcohol coming in at 14%.

On the nose, this blend opened up with aromas of cherry, black fruit, sandalwood and, Moroccan spices. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, very youthful with ripe black fruit, balanced acidity and grainy tannins. Medium length on the finish, soft texture, almost sweet with light tannins lingering. This wine’s style is almost new world, very ripe, feels sweet even if the wine is listed as extra-dry, quite charming and easy drinking. I would buy this again, score 89 points.  

Purchased November 10, 2012 LCBO New Release (902742) at $24.95
